Which can't be used in parking meters, vending machines and pay phones of the day. (Not sure about tolls, but probably not.) Are you going to keep 3 or 4 of these behemoths rattling around in your pocket to buy lunch? It's illogical and uncomfortable.</p><p>No one wanted this coin instead of a dollar bill.

No one wanted this coin instead of a dollar bill. Destined to fail. The smaller dollar coins are easier to carry, but unless they get rid of the dollar bill they aren't going to see a great deal of commerce.[/QUOTE]
