I actually received an SBA in change yesterday!

Went to a local coffee purveyor, bought a fancy cuppa joe for $3.55.
Gave the clerk a $10 bill -- received a $5, an SBA, a quarter and 2 dimes in change.
First time I've received a dollar coin in change since 1979 (other than from a post office vending machine). And I think that time the clerk giving it me mistook it for a quarter.

I did now!
But it is not.
I'd grade it AU-55.

Well, looks like we're getting back to the 1950s
when a cup of coffee was just a little cheaper
than a gallon of gas.

that's the only way the dollar coins will circulate!

here anyway. the citizens of Ecuador will say otherwise.

that is where i get my fix
I know many dollar coins are circulating there? Do they also use the US dollar bill? What is the ratio?

since the SBA and Sac dollars were such miserable failures here with the US public, huge bags of them were sent as foreign aid by the US government to Ecuador. Unlike here, they circulate widely down there, and have even trickled into neighboring countries. Scammers are even counterfeiting the Sacs in South America.

Never view my other linked pages. They aren't coin related.
<< <i>I got one not long ago as I used a Dollar bill for a 50c purchase... only to discover later that the cashier gave me an SBA and a Quarter change.
They definitely are easy to confuse and I distinctly remember the subject of havuing them a different color to avoid this confusion was discussed in 1978 but our geniuses in Congress wouldn't go for it!
Just like they didn't go for Gasparro's Liberty Head Dollar.
