I use them all the time for $1 tolls.

I expected to have a "this is a quarter, sir" moment but I've used them hundreds of times and never have.

Leads me to believe this is commonplace.

I love the golden dollars and I'd be ok with getting rid of paper dollars entirely because coins last a LOT longer.

I'm not sure what certain uh, industries, that deal in single bills a lot would do, though.
