How often do you use a dollar coin?
Susan B. Anthony, Sacagawea, the new presidential coins, any of those.

I usually use those in things vending machines (well, any that will take them). Whenever you see one of those 'golden dollar' stickers on one, any of those three kinds will work.

1. Multiple times a day.


It makes using money so much easier.

2. Constantly, and the two dollar ones too
Wait, you mean American dollar coins, sorry. Here in Canada, the loonies and toonies are a part of the landscape. That's because when the coins came out, the corresponding bills were withdrawn from circulation. You guys should try it, you'll like it.

and it spit those out for change.

5. The local bank had a big display featuring all the new
dollar coins featuring presidents of the United States. No one checked to see if there were actually any to distribute. One guy was standing waiting for someone else, and he decided to get some dollar coins for his kid. When the poor teller had to tell him she hasn't had any since March, he called her all kind of names!

6. I found that you can get them at the post office.
The stamp machine dispenses them as change. It's up to Thomas Jefferson now.
