is there such a thing? I got change from a machine for $1 Canadian coin and from that I got a US dollar coin. it has a picture of an aboriginal woman on the back. Is this fake? I gave it away by mistake, i hope it's not worth money!

yes, they're real. the woman on the back is Sacagawea, who was Lewis and Clark's guide.

How can anyone not know that?

by not being American, i'd think :)

That coin is a total failure, just like all the other dollar coins. Why put out a dollar coin if you can't really use it except at the post office? No vending machine will take them.
Even retail clerks will give you the hairy eyeball if you try to pay with them.

whatever the treasury used to make them 'golden' wears off.

i say do away with all cash and coins anyway.
all your money should be in a digital account and everything should have card readers where you just swipe your card.
everything from vending machine to buses and grocery stores.
carrying around your assets as bits of metal 'n' shit is so primitive.

Coins do suck though, I have a big metal tin filled with them. Should cash it in one day I guess.

and just like weed you gotta roll it 'fore you blow it

(Sep 24 05, 19:01)maybe have a pda that beams cash to the other person's
this device could have a slot for your card and would replace the wallet
or it could be a simple app on your phone

I hope all that happens in my lifetime. It inevitably will, I just hope it's sooner than later. I'm constantly out of cash.

will my disdain for the asshole that uses his card to pay for 2 dollar purchases subside?

scarabin: aboriginal means indigenous people, not just those of Australia. in Canada, it's quite common to call them such. no joke there :)

Im not really a big privacy weirdo, but I dont think that their needs to be a paper trail of every purchase I make.

my guess is that people born american probably don't know who Sacagawea was. those that take citizenship exams tho on the other hand...
strange no?
