: : The SBA (Susan B Anthony) dollar coins are used in many New York/New Jersey
: : vending machines, particularly those of the various subway and trains.
: : The PATH (Port Autiority Trans Hudson) train fare is US $1, so the turnstiles
: : accept the $1 coins.  So do many tollbooths on the roads and bridges.


: Los Angeles's Metrolink also issues SBA as change  in their tvms
: (beats trying to get a bill back) [paper probally would jam the the
: machine, if the machine gave back bills instead.)


	Stamp vending machines in the Post Offices in Kentucky also
	give Susan B. Anthony (AKA the J.C. {as in Jimmy Carter} Penney)
	dollars as change.  One more reason to use UPS or FedEx.
