Nothing against the woman and maybe IRL she looked much better, but that is one ugly coin. Even the recycled reverse leaves me thinking they could have done much, much better.
When I go to the bank I get dollars if nothing else to spend, these things need to be in circulation. The tellers say that the real interest is around Easter time when people want to put them in the eggs for an Easter Egg hunt. (never could do that with an Ike!)
It would save a good bit of money to eliminate printing $1 bills. Just look at Canada as an example, their loonies and toonies are also quite interesting and they spend well (actually worth more at the moment than the US dollar) and most importantly they have saved a lot of money on the switchover from paper. I venture to say its business interests like the vending industry that would hate it.
