Spend them, you'd be surprised to find that many people have never seen one before.

Yep...gave one to a coworker yesterday, she'd never seen one, had no idea they were being minted and put into circulation.

Same thought here. Spend 'em.

I pick up a few rolls every time I go to the bank, check them, then put them in my pocket a few at a time and spend them like any other currency.

I would also spend the ones you don't want to keep. Since their issue, I have found myself using them more and more and I kinda like it. They are a little more bulky then a bill but somehow more fun to spend. I'm sure the gov't is happy with me! Just doing my part.

Next week 4/15 thru 4/21 is national coin week and I will be using ONLY dollar coins in my store, I will accept bills but will only give $ coins in change, and will give a discount to customers that pay with dollar coins.

Just make sure you have a back up dollar in case someone will not accept them. I've found if you use them in restaurants as tips you'll get dirty looks, have to explain they are real, best not go there again. As for tolls, nothing like holding up a line at a toll booth when someone says what the #)(%()Y#)_( is this supposed to be. Lady at Walmart said I have no place for these, can't you use anything else? One of the banks I go to keeps asking people if they want them and seldom anyone does. Conductors on our commuter trains really don't want them, no place in coin changer, but will take them if you insist but be carefull getting off the train. I tried spending some but not worth the aggrevation. Can't leave them on a bar when drinking. Bartenders will pick them up thinking they are a quarter. Used to be fun but now lost the desire to aquaint the world of those things.

It seems that everyone in Carls world is miserable.

I go thru about a roll a week and have had none of the problems you have.

Some time ago someone I know went around spending those Sacagawea dollar coins and said how every one he gave one to showed great admiration and thanked him for each one. Finally they told him to stop because they were just trying to make him feel good by taking them. Around here the new dollars are the same thing for now. Not even sure why anyone would want to carry lots of any coins when plastic does so much.

Thanks for all the posts to answer my questions.

BTW, I used to live in Canada, where they use one dollar coins ("Loonies") & two dollar coins ("Toonies"). One company came out with a very useful item: a small flat black heavy duty plastic holder that would hold 8 of these coins at once, 4 on each side. They would slide in & out with thumb pressure. Very convenient & compact, so these heavy coins were not jingling in your pocket & wearing holes in the cloth. If something like that were available here in the US, I think that would go a long way in popularizing these coins.

or something like a PEZ candy dispenser that hold a few and you can just slide one off the top for easy access.

Any inventors out there? There must be something like that already available. Anyone know?
