There are. And you hardly ever see them. On the rare times I was given a modern dollar coin in change, the cashier usually apologized for giving it to me because most Americans don't want them.



I have been on both sides of counter, (data point only one) I have been happy to accept and give it just like any other coin.


About the only place you ever got them was toll booths, since they were government operated. Those are mostly gone now too…
