I don’t live in the US. I have only ever seen the dollar bills in movies. Maybe these coins are actually normal to y’all but I found it fascinating.

I am learning things. Thank you.
They’re common in vending machines, libraries, ticket machines for bus/train, etc. as change because they’re easier to distribute than single dollar bills by a machine
I’m starting to feel like an ass for not knowing this.
You’re fine - I grew up in a rural state, and I thought they were super rare until I lived in a city where the public transit system gave them as change.
Nah, I’m an ass. But this is so interesting. Thank you for sharing.
No way;

I work with handling money on the daily. I’d rate them as uncommon but not rare. We will see a handful of them at least every other day.
Nope, I haven’t seen one since the early 2000s, when they rolled out Sacajawea dollars and then stopped a few years later because boomers were afraid they’d confuse them with quarters.
They didn’t stop these still around.
