[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 641823, member: 17557"]People I know didn't grow up using a $1 coin, they used a $1 bill. Americans use the $1 bill in everyday life, and why should anybody have to go out of their comfort zone using a $1 coin? I can't put $1 coins in my wallet, and a lot of times when I sit down, my change just falls out. Another thing about the $1 coin is that it is just confusing to people who are not involved in numismatics, my dad thought he was going to make me rich when he got some SACS in change one time, and another time my mom wouldn't accept a SAC dollar at a garage sale because she thought it was a peso. Bottom line is this, more people are more comfortable with using the $1 bill, they are more familiar with it, it can go into a wallet easy, and I don't think it would get lost as easy as a dollar coin would, or any coin for that matter. Do I hate the dollar coin? No. Do I use the dollar coin for my purchases? No. Do I intend on it? Maybe, if I have one with me during a small purchase.[/QUOTE]
