$2 Bill And $1 Coin Haven’t Caught On
Government efforts to promote a $1 coin and a $2 bill failed as storage nears $1 billion in unused currency. The $2 bill introduced in 1976 aimed to cut $1 bill demand, but only 180 million circulated. The Susan B Anthony dollar, issued in 1979, sees 300 million in circulation with 500 million stored. Possible composition changes and design tweaks are under discussion to improve acceptance. Retail reluctance and habit change hinder adoption.
