I live in a small town in the fringe suburbs of NYC and have a lot of
trouble getting $2 bills. $1 coins are plentiful but halves seem in
short supply. My bank has always gotten the President dollar coins
shortly after the release date but they store them in the vault until
somebody (like me) asks for a roll. The teller actually almost
refused to break open a roll to give me a couple of loose coins. So
much for the dollar coin making it into general circulation!

If we made the public go through this much trouble to get dollar bills,
I bet they wouldn't circulate much either.
