greytone, you can spend a dollar coin anywhere - it's normal legal currency. Just go to the store and get a candy bar or something.
As for bills being different sizes, that's one thing I don't want to see in our money. Aside for the reasons already mentioned here, it's simply a pain in the butt to carry them around in your pocket or wallet or to neatly bunch your money together.
It bugged me the times I've been to Europe and it'll bug me if it ever happens here.
