Its a Susan B. Anthony one dollar coin. Its lack of popularity stems from
the fact that its almost identical in size and shape to a quarter coin. 
As far as getting rid of them, the United States Postal Service uses them
all the time. When you buy stamps from a stamp machine, the change, if its
more than one dollar is often dispensed in the form of SBA coins.  What I
do is save up enough of them to buy another book of stamps than I put them
right back in the machine where I got them and get my stamps that way.
