Just to throw in my 100 cents worth, I like them. I'd like to note, moreover, that the Canadian Loony, which is very successful, is the same size. On my fairly frequent trips to Canada, I usually have a fair number of Loonies (and the $2 Toonies) in my pocket. Like the Loony, the Sacagawea dollar is a different color from the quarter.
