JackB Pillar of the Community United States 1064 Posts	Posted 07/03/2011 4:26 pm I've never even seen one of the new-type dollars here in the Boston area, just an occasional Sacagawea that comes out of the change machine in one downtown parking garage. None of my friends or relatives know that there is even a dollar coin in existence, much less 'circulating'! Report this Post to the Staff
captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 07/03/2011 6:37 pm The dollar coin story seems to be repeating itself. Morgans were hated when released and they sat in vaults for 100 years. I wonder if 100 years from now people will be collecting varieties of President Dollar Coins. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverRoosevelt Pillar of the Community United States 917 Posts	Posted 07/03/2011 6:42 pm Heh, I was in Boston a couple of days ago and the ticket machines for the T dispense dollars as change. During my trip to the World's Fair of Money at the Hynes Convention Center last August, I got 15 of them in change from a 20 (a mix of SBA's, Sacagaweas, Presidential, and Native American dollars). On this trip, I deposited five SBA's into the machine to add value to my ticket. Report this Post to the Staff
JackB Pillar of the Community United States 1064 Posts	Posted 07/03/2011 7:05 pm I use those T (Mass Bay Transit Authority, MBTA) machines myself for the subway, but I add value with a credit card swipe, so I've never seen that change. I guess that makes me part of the problem... Report this Post to the Staff
