Default Re: New $1 coin- would the changes make YOU use them?

[ QUOTE ]

Am I just weird, or is the Mint fooling themselves again?
Will the same thing happen with the new coins as the old silver dollars- people will collect some but not use them?

You're not weird. Until the paper $1 notes are removed from circulation, $1 coins will not increase in usage.

The only way the mint can justify these coins is to make them more of a collectible, which is precisely what they did.
