Funnily you very rarely see the Sacagawea dollar coins in circulation the US (albeit more than the $2 billion) but we ship a massive number of those dollar coins overseas to Ecuador which officially uses USD. Incredibly common since many expenses there are in the couple dollars sort of range and you barely see $1 bills at all since many people refuse to accept worn-out bills.

also El Salvador uses USD officially and most day to day purchases are under $1 so the dollar coins are very prevalent there too.
tripped me out when I got there and didn’t need to convert my cash lol
Almost as if Ecuador knows how to money and the states is a wierd place.
How to money: use the money of a weird place
