Wait, what? We put her on our currency without a pardon? That's just hilarious.

Yes, the Susan B Anthony dollar was detested. Just a little larger than a quarter so it was easy to mix them up. A pain in the ass for cashiers and tellers. It was ugly and universally unloved. We called it the "Carter quarter". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_B._Anthony_dollar#Reception

I really wish we adopted a really good dollar coin though the Sacajawea dollar is pretty good, but never used.

It’s the only thing I think the euro commie trash do better: dollar coins.

Sac and Presidential dollars look cheap and tarnish very quickly. Some of the designs are really ugly as well. The original design for the Carter quarter was much better IMO: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_B._Anthony_dollar#/media/File:Gasparro_Liberty_obverse.jpeg

I like the Sacajawea dollars, I wish more places gave them out as change

In 1979 they dumped the universally despised Susan B Anthony dollars (exactly the same size and color as a quarter, even the same ridged edge—fuck you blind people!) on us, military personnel who couldn't object. We couldn't get George Washington greenbacks, only those fucking things.

Yeah, one of the silver dollars I believe.
