$1 Coin Aims to Jumpstart America's $2 Bill
The Treasury envisions a copper nickel $1 coin slightly larger than a quarter to replace the Eisenhower dollar and stimulate use of the $2 bill. Officials say the $2 note languished since 1976 due to inconvenience and superstition, but promotion and a new coin could spur circulation. Bankers warn public reluctance may persist, with few people eager to use two dollar bills.
