Its much more difficult deal with than when they change the notes, because that's usually just a software upgrade to the machine.

Again, if it is good for the gov't to eliminate the paper dollars and replace them with a longer lasting dollar coin ... stop making the paper dollar.
If you do that, all the of the vending machines and self-service machines will very quickly replace their current machines with ones that take the new dollar coins.

RIDE TO CURE DIABETES
I did it! 105 degree and 105 miles in Death Valley in 1 day. But it's nothing compared to what my wife and daughter do daily dealing with Type 1 diabetes.
I'm riding to raise awareness, to raise $$, but, at the end of the day, I'm riding so some day someone can say to my daughter...
"Ellie, when we were kids, what was it you had again?"
...and so I ride.
