She was a controversial figure in
the mid-1800s with her fight for
women s rights. She is still controv
ersial today, but for a different rea
son.
Susan B. Anthony was
memorialized last July when the
United States Mint minted a dollar
coin bearing her picture. The move
was designed to save the govern
ment an estimated $17 million an
nually in printing costs.
But because the coin is so close in
size to the quarter, it has not be
come popular with consumers.

is 18 months, while the coin may

“Inflation is going to force us to use

Vending machine companies have
had trouble with the dollar coin
jamming in machines originally de
signed to take nickels, dimes and
quarters.
Raymond Fickey, president of
F&F Vending Service of Bryan, said
he has had a lot of touble with jam
med coins, especially in his ciga
rette machines.
“I don’t like the darn things,” he
said.
Another vending company
owner, Ross Todars Sr., said the
vending machine industry is gearing
up for the widespread use of the
Susan B. Anthony dollars by build
ing new machines with dollar slots.
