I really like this concept. Earlier this year I used some dollar coins at a toll. I will post after I get some dollar coins the bank and spend them. Just curious, what happens when the $100,000 is reached?

I was hoping by the time we hit $100,000 the U.S. would stop making $1 bills so they would circulate better.

Now for my latest contributions to the cause. I believe that all the dollar coins this time were Susan B Uglies.

I spent 1 dollar at Rite Aid, 2 dollars and 1 Kennedy at Italian store, 8 dollars and 1 Kennedy at Taco Bell, 1 dollar for tip at ice cream store, 2 dollars and 1 Kennedy for a sidewalk taco.
While paying for the taco, I handed the clerk the coins and said "2 dollars and 1 half" and pointed them out. They don't speak English very well. She showed them to another person standing there then the other person said "It's 2 dollars and 50 cents".

$15.50 total

$37,693.50 to go
