<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 3466380, member: 31533&quot;]It was neat they were bringing out a new coin, but the closeness in size and general looks to a quarter was an issue. Plus you could really not spend them in the machines, so it was seen as a burden to have. Most people I knew did not want them. Then when the Sacs came out, it was pretty much the same thing. People kind of excited a little but just a burden to figure out if you have a quarter or a dollar coin unless you have good lighting and really look.&nbsp; At least with the sacs they were ok in many of the machines.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the big problem is that with continuing the paper dollar bills, there was no incentive to really accept the dollar coins here. Canada did it right to make one and two dollar coins and stop printing dollar bills.... basically forcing acceptance. You either had to get change from a five in coins and either really start using the $1 and $2 coins or start carrying lots of smaller change.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
