I found 5 $1 coins go in my pocket better than 5 $1 bills go into my wallet. Especially after the bills have changed hands once or twice.
So they're achievements for spending real money...
I swear, this sent me into a giggle fit.

It'd be odd but whatever, I guess. Personally, I pay cash for everything. Also, I may or may not wear a beanie and hang out with my old high school chemistry teacher (he's been diagnosed with cancer).
But that's neither here nor there ...
I swear I'm not a drug dealer!!!

I still find hilarious the fact that paying with cash is considered suspicious.
I carry "dollar" coins in China, and man, I do love them. I call em "Shrapnel", and it takes up less space in my wallet, naturally. Cash transactions are still generally the norm here, save for major purchases or (most) restaurants so I kinda like not having 10-15 1 RMB bills cluttering my wallet. Plus, there's the jingle-jangle.
I pay for most things with my card.
But I love dollar coins. One friend was not happy she'd gotten twenty dollar coins back from a metro thing that rejected her money instead of the 20 bill she'd put in. I gave her a 20 and took the coins, and felt like a pirate with dubloons, like RavenPoe said. I'd have no problem ditching $1 bills.

The last couple of times that dollar coins have been pushed out I tried using the dollar coins. My bank has the bank bags that are the size of a wallet. I'd get those and drop 5 $1 coins in it and what ever loose change in there too. It worked great, but stores did not like taking the coins because the $1 coin cup in registers are normally filled with rolled quarters...
Personally I'd like to see $500 and $1,000 bills make a comeback.

Never happen without massive inflation. They stopped printing them because it made it harder for criminals to store huge stacks of cash and forced them to ether risk buying gold (which would attract attention) or to keep it on huge pallets like the Army does in Iraq.
What the fuck are you buying that often.
Unless they were buying rims\spoilers\a trunk stereo. In which case a large fan of Bennies is still more impressive than a lone bill.

They might if debit card fees start going up. There are a number of people who are moralistically opposed to credit cards (like talk radio financial adviser Dave Ramsey) and they likely would spend that kind of money in cash if debit cards became a poor option.
