Ahhh, now I know why I haven’t seen any of those new dollar coins yet. This Mercury News article explains that Sacagawea coins are being hoarded and not spent by consumers. Come on, people! This is not a limited edition release like those state quarters. They will make more. Let them go! Then again, perhaps if we refuse to use them, vending machine proprietors won’t be inclined to round all purchase prices to the dollar. I’m wondering how many bridge toll takers will be out of work if the coins do catch on and exact change baskets get installed at the bridge tolls. But, as the article punnily says, “People resist change.”
