People will use the bill whenever possible, especially men who carry wallets that can't really handle change.<BR/><BR/>I used to use them for tolls, but FasTrak eliminated that need. I do keep about 10-15 in my car, just in case I'm low on cash and need it for parking in the city.<BR/><BR/>Interestingly, the US Mint is launching a cool new Presidential $1 Dollar Program in 2007 - 4 presidents every year for the next 10 years.

Why other countries have adopted easier than the US? The government din't back down beacuse people did not like it. When the Lonnie was introduced they stopped printing the dollar bill. Same with the twoonie. People started requesting more $2 bills so when they introduced the coin they stopped making the bill.<BR/>It also was easier to adopt becuase the Loonie has 12 sides instead of being round like a quarter and is larger in diameter.<BR/>I heard people here in the USA had trouble differentiating the Susan B Anthony from a quarter.<BR/>Its comes down if the US Mint and US government wanted everyone to use the coin instaed of the bill. They just need to STOP PRINTING THE BILL. Hostipals use metric why can't the rest of the US.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1162930695421822212006-11-07T15:18:00.000-05:002006-11-07T15:18:00.000-05:00I am very happy dollar coins have not caught on! ...I am very happy dollar coins have not caught on!
