Idk, but had a manager at a dollar general threatening to call the police on me for trying to use them 😂. Our machine at work gave them as change if you used a $5 bill, and the store thought it was fake. They’d been in circulation for a while 😂

U.S. dollar coins remain legal tender and are still produced in limited quantities, but they are rarely seen in everyday cash transactions because most people prefer using paper bills.

My dad has given me all the dollar coins he has collected over the years. They range from very old and silver to very new and not silver.

The quarter sized dollar coins, imo, were/are a bad currency idea. I can't imagine how many have been passed as quarters.

Wasn't that the Susan B Anthony coins?

Sacagawea gold color dollar coins…I have several in my golf bag. Some of the older guys I played golf with paid in dollar coins back in the day.

edited to add, we’d do a golf trip annually, 8 or 16 guys for 4 days usually in SC. Most of the older guys would bring $2 bills to tip and pay bets with and also the gold $1 coins. I think I probably still have a few two dollar bills in the bag too.

My maternal grandfather used to give me silver dollars. I had several Morgans. I left these at my mother’s home when I went off to college along with some record albums, books, knives, knickknacks, clothes… She sold or gave away all of it when she sold the home. She told me after the fact.
