Bank teller tells me that dollar bill WILL be replaced by Golden Dollar coin!

All the presidential Golden Dollars will have liberty on them. On the
reverse. All of them.

They will continue to mint Sacagaweas as well (not sure if they will also
have the Statue of Liberty on the reverse).

Well, we all here know that "weaning" doesn't work. Didn't work in
1979 nor in 2000. This is one instance where cold turkey is the only
feasable way.

On the other hand, they WOULD have to flood America with nasty Dead
Presidents...

I am reminded of the old maxim: 'Be careful what you wish for'. With
the exception of the "dollar coins are too heavy to carry" fogeys,
almost everyone here (me incl.) has wished they would be rid of the
rag dollar in favour of the coin. Looks like we're going to get just
that, only with Willam Harrison's mug on in stead of some more
attractive Liberty.

Who was William Harrison? The US president whose ONLY claims to fame
are 1)longest inaugural speech, 2) shortest term in office (hint: the
two are almost the same length), 3) will have his mug on a dollar
coin.

BORING! The Dutch euro coins are more exciting.

Bizarre. It just gets worse and worse!

Adjust your tipping for inflation and use $5s. You'll be AMAZED by the
rapid improvement in the quality of the shows that you get in return.

Weight and bulk

I don't know about you, but I rarely have more than 2 or 3 $1 bills in

This is nonsense about 'weight and bulk' being a problem with the
current size.

I don't keep dollar bills in my pocket. they are in my wallet. All my
change goes in a change jar, so I rarely have any change at all in my
pocket.

With increased usage of the $2 note the only times it would be
absolutely necessary to give a $1 coin in change would be for
tendering amounts of $1 and $3. All other amounts could be met by
using combinations of $2, $5, $10 and $20 notes.

Unfortunately you are over estimating the intelligence of cashiers...
