Why didn’t anybody tell me about this?

At the phrase “United States Mint” we tend to think of the average quarter, dime, nickel, etc. But a golden dollar? Thats right, find out more at their website. Now this sounds like a collector’s item; this isn’t what the U.S. Mint says. They seem to encourage everyday use of this coin. The bill signed into law states that the new dollar shall be:

• Gold in color.
• The same diameter as the current dollar coin: 26.5 millimeters (Susan B. Anthony Dollar coin).
• The edge of the coin shall have “tactile and visual features … that make the coin discernible, and distinctive so as not to be confused with the quarter - which has reeds (grooves) all the way around its edge - and is easy to find among other coins.”

Uh, sure. Anways, it seems like this is going to be a dollar that the Mint wants the majority of people to use.
