<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 644228, member: 15588&quot;]I&#039;ll always remember as a kid receiving 3 SBA dollars in change for a dollar from a local drug store. I didn&#039;t even notice until arriving home. The person balancing the till that night probably had a conniption - or at least their boss did. That would never happen with the gold dollars, particularly since the things don&#039;t circulate. People seem to collect rolls of them. My bank was consistently out of them every time I asked - they didn&#039;t even have <i>one</i>. But I never saw, nor see, them anywhere. Where do they all go? Into people&#039;s closets? The only time dollar coins spewed at me was when purchasing subway tokens in St. Louis. I was stultified to see Sacajawea and 1999 SBAs flowing into my hands. Never before, never since. People just seem to HATE them (the Simpsons even joked about them - one episode showed Moe holding a shotgun to a customer&#039;s face and yelling &quot;now you get out of here with your lousy Sacajawea dollars!!!&quot;). I don&#039;t get it. The billions of dollars that circulating dollar coins would save boggles the mind... bills are nice, I admit, but I rarely carry cash these days anyway. It&#039;s all plastic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
