Crap, the Franklins in my wallet are for emergencies. A couple of $1 coins aren't going to do much. They'll leave embarrassing impressions in the leather, too. ;-)
Nonsense. They don't want another slot, nor do they have room for it in registers. Cash handling isn't only Diebold's problem.
You failed with the truth gain, AlwaysWrong.
Ever get your mommy's panties back in her hamper before she found out?
Wrong. Raid mommy's hamper again, DimBulb?
And then we pissed it away with the likes of Nixon, Reagan and the Bushes. Not to mention Carter and Clinton both of which who were nearly as bad. And most of the idiots in Congress over the last 40 years all playing their parts.
You're an idiot.
You appear to have far greater intimacy with such events than I.
Wrong again, AlwaysWrong, but everyone including yourself knows that.
The intimacy occurs after you raid her hamper, DimBulb.
All 49 of him.

Is that why I kept getting them in my change? Businesses were trying to get rid of them?
What about the new presidential series of dollar coins?

You young punks have it easy. Back in my day we had to use a slide rule.
Now stay off my lawn!

On a more minor note, what happens with people who have tetartanopia? This is less than .1% of the population, but I know a tetartanope.
More significantly, the USA population has a lot of inertia in the area of what their currency has in form, shape and size.
And it appears to me that "dollar coins" mostly come "pushed onto me", from sources that many Americans can easily get irritated by:
When I get dollar coins, I mostly like to deposit them to my checking account at my bank, or use them at token vending machines for the local public transit system. I find that my fellow Americans mostly dislike them.
It appears to me that Americans may get into a better mood to accept a new coin when an older one gets banished - as in the penny. A significant number of Americans appear to me to nearly consider pennies to be trash - I have even seen one dumping pennies into a wastebasket, and many dumping pennies into the streets along with emptied fastfood containers.

Gives me an idea: Get a roll of dollar coins from my bank. Use the SBA ones next time I need an inner tube, to spend at the bike shop closest to my day job, that likes to give dollar coins rather than bills.
(Worst consequence I can think of is being forced to go half a kilometer farther in a different direction to a different bike shop that has lower prices and that I like better anyway though I find it far from perfect.)

I have yet to see (endure?) those. Will I get those next time I go to the bike shop 1.8 kilometers east of my day job next time I make a cash purchase and get back change exceeding a multiple of $5 by $1 to $4.99?
Do they at least have the gold color that can help Americans that are neither blind nor tetartanopes? Do they have an distinctive edge that enables distinguishing from quarters by feel while they are still in a trousers pocket?
