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.

The SBA is quite annoying since it's so easily confused with quarters.
