Okay.

But if nobody is using the $1 coins now, what makes anyone think they’ll be more popular if the government mandates using them?

And aren’t government mandates a terrible, horrible thing to guys like Hensarling?

Well, they’d naturally become more popular once the existing supply of $1 bills mostly disappears after a few years. It’s not like people would have a choice in the matter at that point. Honestly, I’ve never gotten the resistance to dollar coins in the U.S.
