I find it amazing this happened.
In the US, when they came out with the "gold" dollars, they did extensive testing to make sure they would work in the machines just like the old SBA Dollars. I think the same was true when they change the design of paper money.
But now in the US, it hardly matters since the machines now take Credit Cards. And people in the US tend to live off those cards.
- kps 2y agoYes, all the US dollar variants since then have had the same size and weight. The latter distinguishes them from Canadian dollar coins that are the same size (within wear tolerance).
- ranger_danger 2y agoWhich is doubly silly because nobody uses dollar coins in the US. You have to explicitly request them from a bank to even get them. And then if you try to use it, most workers have never even seen one before and might be reluctant to accept it as they don't know that it's real.
