    The ticket machines for the light rail train here in Denver all give back dollar coins. And I don't mind getting them, as everybody takes them without comment. But yeah, it's about time we stopped minting them. We've got enough, thanks.

    no-one uses Dollar Coins? Insane country. £1 coins are ever so useful for the car park here.

    That or we could just take the $1 dollar bill out of circulation. That will get people using them.

    Notes should be kept for the big moneys!

    Though I do have a one pound note lying around somewhere, they're still in circulation in Scotland. And they make commemorative £5 coins, I've heard ~
