I was at the MN State Fair last year with a buddy and he tried to pay for some milk with a Sacajawea $1 coin and the teenaged girl lamented that they didn't take foreign currency. After we told her it was American money she had to confirm it with a superior. Needless to say she looked pretty embarrassed, but I don't blame her, nobody seems to use these dollar coins. When I was traveling in Europe I really liked having change that was actually worth something. I especially liked the English Pounds because of their heft and the sound they made when clinked together in the hand.
