It can, and will, happen when the US Mint goes 3 years without printing paper $1 bills, and cranks out dollar coins instead.
You're confusing what would be POPULAR with what would be POSSIBLE.
LOL!
I don't know about you, but I vote.

Think outrage over the dollar bill vs the dollar coin is going to turn an election?
In a Senate where the only thing that unseats 80% of incumbents is being found in bed with a dead girl or a live boy?
Keep dreaming...
Do I think (or WANT) the dollar coin to COMPLETELY replace the bill? Heavens no..
But I'm not naive enough to think it "can't happen" either...
