I think the U.S. Mint [usmint.gov] really wants to get rid of the paper dollar and start using coins. I've actually started to use these coins and don't really mind it so much.
The odd part is the reaction I get from cashiers. A couple people have questioned if it's U.S. money. Uh…there's a former president on the front…the statue of liberty on the back…and the words “United States of America” on it…what do you think?
Nice shot, people will get used to the coins soon enough
