I found amongst other things a US one dollar coin today.
I was very surprised. I thought there where only dollar bills on circulation.
It’s called Sacagawea dollar
Here is an extract from Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_coin_(United_States)

"As of 2011, dollar coins are not widely encountered in US commerce, except in vending machines for rides on mass transit, some pay and display machines, some laundromats, and old-fashioned slot machines. Most vending machines and parking meters have been redesigned, however, to accept dollar coins for purchase over a quarter-dollar.[citation needed] The Sacagawea dollar has achieved popularity in El Salvador, Ecuador and Panama, where the US dollar is also the official currency"

If you think the Sacagawea is interesting, wait until you see the Presidential series:

As with the Sacagawea and the previous Susan B. Anthony dollars (

I have a great interest on coins.  Smiley I should know.
I guess I was even more surprised to dig one up down town Melbourne.
