I'm surprised nobody's mentioned vending machines and tollbooths. In an age where every transaction more than about $10 is going on my credit card and I can't buy much of anything for less than $3, my primary use for coins and dollar bills is automated machines, all of which would need to be re-configured to take dollar coins.
- prodigal_erik 16y agoThese coins have the same size and weight as the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacagawea_dollar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacagawea_dollar that debuted ten years ago. Are there vending machines out there that still don't take those, or that only take bills?
- slouch 16y agoyes, there are plenty of vending machines that date the dollar coins and are unable to accept them. my local car wash and every parking meter i have seen in my county included.
