They need to promote the coins more, make them less-collectible (so everyone and their dog doesn't have a hoard of them that they want to collect and NOT use like the dumb state quarters), they need to convince vending machine companies to accept them, and a whole lot of other stuff. I think if they wanted to they could make the coins so that everyone wants to use them and spend them, but they won't if the only people they aim for are the collectors.[/QUOTE]
