I doubt that the dollar coin will take off and I personally have no desire for it to. I invariably seem to end up with four or five singles in my wallet and occasionally have to carry change for the booth that I run at rennaissance festivals. The thought of carrying 50 – 100 1-2 oz coins around versus paper currency has no appeal. I’ve had people who, wanting to feel more historically accurate, paid for their entire purchase in dollar coins and it was a pain. Carrying around a pound and a half of coins instead of $25 in paper currency was ridiculous.

The Secular atheists as a whole aren’t the problem. It’s the trouble making ones who say that since they don’t believe, noone else is allowed to either, historical tradition be damned. If they’d shut their damn mouths and leave everyone else alone, they wouldn’t be finding themselves despised by the 90% of the population who do have some form of spiritual belief.

2- Yeah that was the big problem with the Susan B coins.

The UK 1 and 2 pound coins are *very* distinctive. The 1 pound is similar in width to the size of our nickel, but about twice the thickness. The 2 pound coin is a little larger than a quarter, but it has two types of metal (center and an outer portion (think penny embedded into the enter of a quarter)). Both are VERY obvious to distinguish from the smaller denomination coins.

I haven’t gotten my hands on a new dollar coin yet but I hope they took some lessons from other countries this time.

I read about this yesterday.

I really hope that, this time, the dollar coin catches on. Recently spending a few weeks in the UK, I liked using their 1 and 2 pound coins, in lieu of paper. The smallest paper bill they have is is the 5 pound note.
