More info on that pesky new dollar coin. A SF Gate article claims that the reason they aren’t going into circulation is because stores aren’t asking for them from their banks, and banks haven’t been ordering them from the (supposedly) plentiful Federal Reserve Bank supply. The few that are out are being hoarded. So if stores don’t want them and banks aren’t getting them, how are the coins supposed to get out there? Stamp vending machines? (thanks Unknown News)
