Remember the Susan B Anthony and Sacajawea coins? Well the dumb *&)s
did it again. I just got some of the new dollar coins and again they
are almost identical in size to a quarter. Close enough that you have
to look to be sure. Seems to me the idiots were puzzled when people
didn't use the old dollar coins. They didn't listen apparently when
told that the major objection was the size, too close to a quarter.
Ah well, never underestimate the stupidity of beuracracy!

Is it a problem for you that a one dollar bill is the same size as a fifty?

The problem is there is no need for a dollar coin since we already have
a dollar bill. The idea was obviously conceived by the US Department
of Redundancy Department...

But the dollar coin will greatly outlast the paper bill saving money.

Better yet, let's dump pennies and the dollar bill. Do you know that
when we made a good decision to dump the half penny it was worth about 20¢
in today's money? Let's lighten our pockets and get rid of the nickel and
quarter also and re-issue a smaller 50¢ piece and a $5.00 coin making the
$10.00 our smallest bill and the dime the smallest coin. Then those $19.95
deals will become $19.90. (or $19.9) :-)
