It is really pretty simple ... If they really wanted to make people use the dollar coin, all they have to do is stop making the paper dollar (and even more so ... stop making them and start taking the existing ones out of circulation)

The problem comes from retrofitting vending machines and other self-service machines that except cash...its (most likely) expensive and would take a lot of time to convert most machines. I'm no expert on vending machines but it seems like this would be a problematic step in eliminating $1 notes. Its much more difficult deal with than when they change the notes, because that's usually just a software upgrade to the machine.
