The worst way to try and get rid of the $1 bill in the US and convert to a coin would be to make an announcement, many months in advance and hype up to it. It has to be done quietly if it is to have any type of success. On the other hand, the one dollar bill may not have been redesigned because it is not heavily counterfeited.
