Yes because $1 is of such small value that it makes sense to have it as a coin, it would make it easier for machines etc cos the bills must go around so much the machines would reject them whereas coins have little if any trouble taking to machines.

No. We already have the dollar coins and they are a total bother to carry plus the added factor that some idiot dreamt up the idea to make them about the same size as our quarters. They have already talked about getting rid of our penny coins too. I don't know if we even have the $2 bills any more as they were of no great use either.
I myself don't like to carry coins in my pocket. Sound like an Ice Cream Truck once you get a few in your pocket when you walk. One other thing is that it takes a woman a half hour to dig change out of her purse at a check-out lane in a store.

We do have a $1 coin already. There's no point in getting rid of the bills since there's already so many of them out there.

Here in Australia we have $1 and $2 coins, too. Saves on paper, saves the trees. But we have to mine for iron ore and that depletes the earth of resources to make coins, too. So they're damned if they do, damned if they don't.
George Washington on a coin? Not too many Americans would support your idea, but I would.

The reason the coins were introduced in the first place was to save the government money in printing. Paper costs a lot to print and keep in circulation.

No. If the rest of America is like me, I'm constantly losing coins.

i think the bills are better than the coins because they are easier to keep track of.

When I was in Canada I kinda wished they had paper $1 and $2 because I had a pocket full of coins at the end of the day and it was heavy!
