It was later replaced with the Sacajewa dollar. Same problem.

Then there was a commemorative series (gold colored) of presidents of USA. Change of

It depends on where you are in the country, I guess. Around here (Seattle area) lots of
vending machines give out dollar coins when returning change. But, with more vending
machines having payment card readers, there is less opportunity to get dollar coins from
them.
One big problem with dollar coins is cash trays need to be redesigned for them. Maybe if
the US got rid of the penny (like Canada has) there would be somewhere to put dollar coins
in a register and they would be used more often.
