Am I not stating the obvious by saying that, with a coutry as large and far
reaching as the USA, all (or most) money recognition systems will have to be
aged out or replaced before just stopping the dollar bill?
I'm only asking the question - I don't know what the answer would be.

The machines in our office building all take them.
However, the fare machines in the subway (Washington, D.C.) don't.
Congress could have made life a lot easier if the author of the legislation
authorizing the current Golden Dollar had left out the sentence that said
that the dollar bill SHALL continue to be produced. Keeping the dollar
bill
costs the USA about $400,000,000 a year, but remember, as with metrication,
Congress listens to the whiners. "You changed something, why did you
change
it, we don't like change, we're going to remember this at the election, waa
waa waa ."

Now if we can get the vending machine people to install machines that take
dollar coins...
In my area I've been surprised at the number of vending machines that do
accept dollar coins. It seems that most of the newer machine do, though I
don't think many people know that they do. Just recently I saw someone
give
someone a dollar coin for a coke asking them if they had a paper dollar so
the machine will take it. The machine in question takes dollar coins.
It's
much easier to put a dollar coin in the machine and know it will take it
than wonder if your dollar note is perfect enough for the machine to accept
it.
