Here's an interesting article, it's from November but still an interesting read.

http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/28/us/one-dollar-coins/

Key points:

The Federal Reserve Banks hold about $1.4 billion in $1 coins -- enough to meet the demand for the next 40 years.

In fact, far more than half of all $1 coins ever minted are in government vaults.

Last year, more $1 coins were returned to the Federal Reserve than were paid out. More business returned the unpopular coin than asked for them. So the government's stockpile actually grew.

Same old, same old. Everything we already know.

  • Dollar coins will save taxpayer money (versus paper).

  • People prefer paper dollars over dollar coin (only because we prefer the familiar).

  • The only way the dollar coins will ever circulate is to eliminate the paper dollar.

  • The Treasury Department is clueless to the previous fact.

  • We waste another year with our heads in sand.
