Why the hell would anyone want to do this? I can go to my local bank (now BB&T, formerly One Valley( Ein volk, ein welt, ein valley, I guess) and get rolls straight from the mint every Thursday.
Yes, the vending industry has been lobbying for the dollar coin, again. They, AMOA, Amusement and Music Operators of America, also lobbied for the Susan B. However this time they are also calling for the end of the one dollar bill because they know the dollar coin will not be used unless the bill is done away with, lesson from the Susan B.

They won’t get it despite the enormous savings to the mint.

The reason the vending industry wants the dollar coin is because of price increases and the cost of bill validators.
A coin acceptor is $10, a bill validator is several hundred (with updates for new bills doubling the cost.)
Video players balk at putting more than one coin in a machine since that’s all it took to play Pac-Man. Plus you get the, [WhinyVoice]It took my quarter[/WhinyVoice]" and you have to point to the ‘4 Quarters’ sign and explain how many four is.
P.S. I love service calls to strip joints.
Besides the fact that it takes me forever to fix the problem,
While in a machine I’ll yell out, “Anybody need quarters for the dancers?”
Or if fixing the jukebox/PA I’ll test it not with “Testing one, two…” but “Free Beer.”

P.P.S Wish I knew the link for a guy’s story about Taco Bell and his $2 bill. Anyone have it? The manager called mall security 'cause this guy was trying to pass a counterfeit $2. The security guard asked the manager why would someone counterfeit a $2 just before it hit him that the manager was a complete dofus and didn’t know there was such a thing as a $2 bill.
Tedster helpfully provided that link above.
