They never catch on, but I think it's more the issue of the coin than the wimmenz.
Or, not.  |
In my experience, many Americans have absolutely no regard for coins -especially given that the highest regular denomination is 25c- and generally consider them only good for change jars and charitable donations. Having one and two dollar coins means they would need to rethink that. Brits tend more to have been brought up with the "pennies make pounds" idea drummed into them, plus pound coins were introduced long before the previously highest coin -50p- had ceased to have buying power.
Sorry about the appalling grammar, I'm off duty today.
