They should stop making them.

Yes but the US Mint and the US Treasury are two separate entities. *In
Canada $1 coins (loon?) are used all the time because they stopped
making $1 bills. *That is why we never adjusted to the dollar coin,
because the Treasury won't stop loosing money making paper dollars.


One of the major reasons for the dollar coin flop is the size. It is
too close to a quarter. I thought that after the Susan B anthony
fiasco they would have learned but nooo...here comes the new one with
the same flaw.

I would much rather carry a dozen dollar coins than have my billfold
cluttered up with paper dollar bills. I have tried using the dollar
coins but businesses really don't like them.
