I agree with all of these points, but the USA (except for gold coins

US $ 1.-
coin without demontizing the US$ 1.- bill. That is the problem no one
has solved.

Can you?

The $1 coin has already been introduced in the US (numerous times), and
there are currently three versions "circulating" and soon to be a fourth
one. It is not necessary to demonitize anything. Just quit making the damn
bill! The ones in circulation will wear out in about a year and the only
ones remaining will be in collections. Just like all other obsolete bills.
Also, as far as I know, all US coin and currency is currently legal
tender.....including pre 1933 gold.
