The stamp vending machines at my Post Office in Austin, TX give change in $1
coins.

Agreed the $1 bill has to be discontinued. If the Mint does not does not
establish a sunset date for the printing of $1 bill the switch will hardly
happen.
I was not able to get my hands on $1 coins. I asked at banks, Post offices.
Nothing..

Wrong! For it to be successful, the 1 $ paper bill must be removed from
circulation and no new ones printed. The present 2 $ bill can be used to
supplement the coin. A 2 $ coin will be the next logical step after the
population adjusts to the 2 $ bill in general circulation. As long as the 1
$ bill continues to circulate, the 1 $ coin will remain in bank vaults and
piggy banks.
Personally, I go every Saturday to the bank and request both 1 $ coins and 2
$ bills and spend only these. I doubt the stores and restaurants I give
them to recirculate them. But, at least many of the shops I go to recognise
me from giving out the bills and know I frequent their businesses. As a
result, I sometimes get special deals and discounts. It works for me.
