What is wrong with using the dollar coin?
I have been very intrigued about us in the U.S. getting a dollar coin ever since they introduced the Sakagaweea ones. I don't get what the big deal is with us not wanting them. They are easier to handle, last longer, and go in coke machines better. I have travelled to many countries and each just about has the equivalent of a dollar coin I saw no disadvantages to using it. So why can't we use one and drop our dumb paper bills?
I agree with you about the convenience of larger-denomination coins. I regularly spend time in Canada and really like their one and two dollar coins. I think it's much easier to reach in your pocket and pull out a coin or two than to fish through your billfold to pay for a cup of coffee.
Printing and replacing paper currency is expensive; coins are easier to sort, last a lot longer, and will save money. We just need to find the political will to drop the one-dollar bill. Sure, some people will squawk, but they'll get over it.
