    These aren’t rare in the sense that everybody has one they keep as a collectible. If I went down to 7/11 and tried to buy something with it they’d give me a funny look.

      The vending machine at my job gives change in dollar coins, and the Ohio turnpike does the same. They are fairly common, just people dont like to handle change is all.

        I recall in NYC for a while, dollar coins were known as metrocard change from when they first started installing the Metrocard Vending Machines.
