We will have both dollar bills and dollar coins.
They are introducing new $1 coins with each president on them (kind of like the state quarter idea)
There is no plan to get rid of the paper bills though. |

They are starting to produce dollar coins, but dollar bills will still be here. The coins will have the presidents on them and four will be realeased each year. |

Due to the lightweight nature of a "note" it will be hard for the government to separate the public from them. This Thursday marks the beginning of the third go buy the US Government to get the public to use a "Dollar Coin" I think that these coins will be collectible, but not accepted just as all the other coin projects have failed. |

It's a great idea that has been tried several times, starting with the Susan B. Anthony. If the people of the US would realize how many millions are spent each year just to make $1 throw-away bills, they would give greater consideration to using $1 coins. I certainly hope it does catch on. At least they can be cleaned.
Go to the US Mint to see what's happening.

Yes. (Since 1999)
Bills last only 18 months and the banks have to separate the very used bills from the rest and ship them to the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve has to print new bills and ship them back to the banks and you start over.
All the process costs a lot of money to the United States of America.
If you make a coin it can last for centuries.
Besides you can use Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover Debit Cards almost anywhere.
You don't really need to carry coins anymore. |

It would make a lot of sense to replace paper one-dollar bills with coins, but attempts so far haven't been very successful. |

I heard the same thing. Dollar coins work every
where else but in the good old USA. |

No this will not happen. A bill is actually more sophisticated than a coin...if we changed our currency to coins we would be taking steps backwards |

They have been ramming dollar coins down our throats for years, but they never take. We have always had "silver" dollars, but there was also the ill-fated Susan B Anthony and Saqajawea "gold" dollars. Coins last longer in circulation and cost less to produce than paper money. Countries like Japan and China use mostly coin based currency and save their countries billions in production costs, because they rarely have to take coins out of circulation like you do with paper money. It's also more difficult to counterfeit. |

With a name like buttgazerfrogs.... I'm sure you wouldn't mind replacing unsanitary human fluid rags we call currancy. At least we can WASH coins. I'm all for it. |

Canada has had dollar coins for years.
It's no big deal.
There is no government conspiracy.
Easier taking the buss with a couple of coins instead of five pounds of quarters. |

What does no fair of this mean?
Second, its not getting replaced, but it would save the government millions if we did.
Third, where do you get a say in what your money looks like?
Fourth, we need to get rid of pennies and dollar bills, it would save the country a lot of money. |
