Gob, what do you think of Australia's polymer banknotes?

They hurt your nose.

Maybe you should change to smoking crack. It's a lot easier on your nose.

Start smoking crack and before long you won't have enough banknotes to worry about.

If the USA adopts $1 coins, millions of vending machines, self-check out stands, and such would have to be modified.

This would cost $$$.

Look for a lot of push back from those involved.

Many already accept 1$ coins.

Many coin-op machines are already prepared, or can be readily and easily modified.  I remember pinball machines and vending machines that were set up to accept "SBA (Susan B. Anthony) dollars", and others that proclaimed that they accepted $5, $10, and $20 bills and that change would be given in dollar coins.
