For the longest time I hoarded these Dollar coins. I remember when the first appeared and were mistakenly given instead of a US quarter ( similar size ). I also recall a certain vending machine locally that gave those as change.The 79' was the year they ( US mint ) produced these coins but eventually it was stopped as a result of this coin being mistaken for our US quarter.

Are usual dollar coins bigger than this?
I carry a flat tool in coin holder, have for likely 30 years or more. (Image removed from quote.)One Dollar coins are used in parking pay stations to provide change for paper currency as coin dispensers are much less expensive than note dispensers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Round off numbers to the nearest 10 cents, like in New Zealand, and you can get rid of the brown coins.
I think they could cut down on the number of coins for euros...

I plan to clean it up a tad as it's a bit dirty, and I'm not concerned with the face value. It's more about Johnson (my last name) and Johnson Gasolene/Oil from Chicago, and the world fair of Chicago where my dad was born. It's like triple trifecta of cool.not mine, but this is what it looks like:(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
Any trip to europe for me results in a pocket full of copper coins that I just can't do anything with!
more like ten years in the poor house due to new tools
