It’s been years and taken multiple attempts to abandon the dollar bill and circulate the dollar coin. The silver dollar, Susan B. Anthony and the Sacajawea all failed to replace the George Washington bill. There should be a coin that is totally different than other cent coins and should be heavier to show value. They should make the coins to collect them, they should be made to spend.
The dollar coins at a similar value exists in many developed countries. They have coins including the Canadian Loonie and Toonie, the British pound and 2 pounds, the Australian Dollar and 2 Dollars, the Japanese 100 yen the 50 New Taiwan , and the 1 and 2 Euro coins.
The coins last much longer and saves a lot of money circulating and replacing than the dollar bill. They are easier to use in vending machines. The dollar bills are barely crispy and the machines always spit it out or maybe cause malfunction.

Ever since I could remember, Canadian coins do not count when spending. If you give a clerk a Canadian quarter and they catch you they may refuse it. However not a day goes by that I didn’t receive at least one Canadian coin. I decided to save them for a trip to Canada, since these coins are hard to spend. Is this a good idea?
Thanks Aaron, I do not know why either.
How about your vending machines?

Canadian 5-cent, 10-cent and 25-cent coins are magnetic and thus do not work in vending machines in the United States. Placing a Canadian coin in a U.S. vending machine is like trying to use a metal slug. Are there vending machines in Canada, and, if so, do Canadian coins work in them? If they do work, how are Canadian vending machines able to handle magnetic coins without getting jammed?

Canadian coins often (always) fall through US vending machines and are not accepted. I was just wondering if the reverse was true up North.
