A round piece of metal stamped with "One Dollar" doesn't excite me that much. It's fiat whether it's paper, plastic, or metal. Perhaps more people would care if they had any sort of intrinsic value.

These days whenever i get a five'r it ends up crumpled up in my change pocket with my loonies and twonies anyways. A ten'er is worth the effort to keep in a wallet or money clip. Cant even get a drink at a bar for $5 these days. Id say make a coin for anything under $10.
