9. Canadian dollar coins
We've been using dollar coins for many years now (and $2 coins too), and everybody uses them all the time. The trick used was to stop making $1 (and $2) bills when the coins came out, so there was no choice. After a bit of initial grumbling, Canadians have embraced them, and I for one wouldn't want to go back. More than once, when viting the US, thirsty ironflange has had vending machines refuse to accept his last tattered dollar bill.
