Americans are too slow to permanently convert the dollar bill into a dollar coin?

It's been years and taken multiple attempts to abandon the dollar bill and circulate the dollar coin. The silver dollar, Susan B. Anthony and the Sacajawea all failed to replace the George Washington bill. There should be a coin that is totally different than other cent coins and should be heavier to show value. They should make the coins to collect them, they should be made to spend.
The dollar coins at a similar value exists in many developed countries. They have coins including the Canadian Loonie and Toonie, the British pound and 2 pounds, the Australian Dollar and 2 Dollars, the Japanese 100 yen the 50 New Taiwan , and the 1 and 2 Euro coins.
The coins last much longer and saves a lot of money circulating and replacing than the dollar bill. They are easier to use in vending machines. The dollar bills are barely crispy and the machines always spit it out or maybe cause malfunction.


Yes, I agree. I have received some dollar coins recently and find them to be much more useful and easy to use. We also have 50 cent pieces that are almost completely out of circulation. Sometimes it seems the coin collectors are more in control of our money then the government.

  • Australian Dollar Coins: 2009 Issues and Mintages

    A well-known coin dealer in Queensland, VP Coins, kept up with their plan to boost show attendance at the Brisbane Coin shows by overprinting the pivymark folders with special lettering to commemorate the show. Apparently examples of these overprints (which started in 2008) are in the RAM collection so we can assume they've been recognised by them as official releases. * - Whilst the RAM annual report for 2008-9 has been released it may include some errors. The mintages for each years' issues can be contained in 2 or even 3 financial year reports. Some more recent issues don't have any definite mintages numbers as yet. We have endeavoured to keep our information as accurate as possible but...

    March 7, 2010 Australian Dollar Coins 2009 International Year of Astronomy Dollar

    With 2009 being declared the International Year of Astronomy the Royal Australian Mint used this theme for their year sets and a special commemorative one dollar coin and 20c. The theme "The Universe, Yours to Discover" aimed to raise awareness of Australia's contributions to astronomy and encourage young people to become involved in this exciting science and hobby. 2009 realises 400 years since Galileo first recorded observations with a telescope in 1609.

    This one dollar design features the Parkes radio telescope in NSW, Australia. This 64 metre movable radio dish is probably the most well known because of the images it captured and relayed of the Apollo 11 lunar mission in which 125 million TV viewers watched Duncan Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, the first men on the moon July 21st 1969.
