Concurrent dismay and delight.

But cash register drawers usually do not have a space for them, they’re relatively heavy, and people don’t use them because they don’t use them.

Vending machines famously went ham trying to use them which annoyed people.

It didn’t help that the old Susan B dollar coins were almost a quarter shape and size if you weren’t paying attention.

The dollar coin SHOULD be small, a bit bigger than a dime, imo.

Or just skip the dollar coin and go right to a three dollar coin.

just out of pure curiosity.. what's the context of this? He wrote a poem.. to email to himself? and.. how did he get access to his private emails?

I can't think of any other example of people writing and mailing poems to themselves

I had someone pocket a Susan B. Anthony $1 coin and put their own money in the register to replace it, but that was because it was a rare coin, not because they thought it was fake.

One of the most important features for cash is that it actually be accepted widely, and if I recall, that is a significant problem for $1 coins. I expect the majority machines that accept cash don't accept them, and trying to use them with a cashier is likely to result in amusement or confusion at best, rejection as a very possible outcome, or even accusations of fraud. That there were few instances where an individual would ever get these in normal activities probably made recognition and use even worse, especially as the instances I cam remember often seemed like attempts to push them inconveniently; I seem to remember that some government machines, I think in post offices, would insist on giving change with enormous numbers of one dollar coins, which would likely generate some resentment for users expecting change that would actually be accepted elsewhere.

It likely doesn't help that the design is rather large, eg, it is wider than a two euro coin and almost as heavy, and that one dollar notes are still being produced. For some reason, the US seems far less willing to be decisive in these changes.

    26.50 mm (1.043 in) - $1.00
    24.26 mm (0.955 in) - $0.25

I am not exactly sure of the reason that the mint is so resistant to making the coins a bit bigger (they used to be).
