I like the dollar coins but I guess thats the Canadian in me. I use them all the time for tooth fairy money and special occasions. Right now you can get them at the post office or request an order directly from your bank. Americans aren't real big on massive change like this though. We were supposed to go into a metric system back in the 80's and look how well that turned out. Seriously if I had 20 dollars in coins I'd probably spend them all just so I wouldn't have to lug them around. Its good to have but I don't feel it should replace the paper dollar.

Sometimes in the winds of change we find our true direction.
