It’s a crime that this country spends an extra billion a year making $1 bills that last less than 2 years AND create significant disposal problems when they wear out. In most other countries the Mint, finance ministry or whatever simply makes the decisions. But here, every single political lemming in Congress has to have their say. What with the lobbyists for Crane Paper, NeCAAATs (Never Change Anything, Anywhere, Anytime) do-nothings, and the religious right’s fixation on motto placement, my yet-to-be-born grandchildren will still be using $1 bills while spending coins that look like Chuck E. Cheese tokens.

Teddy Roosevelt (he of the St. Gaudens double eagle, Lincoln cent, etc.) must be spinning.

I, too, was at Disneyland last week and received numerous Native American $1 coins in change. Also constantly received 2009 Lincoln “Professional Life” cents in my change from purchases there. My kids thought these were both wonderful finds!

We were at the Disneyland park in Anaheim, CA last week and received three Native American $1 coins back in change. Apparently, this is not limited to only the Epcot and Magic Kingdom locations in Florida.
