I tried using $1 coins for a while. I found then too bulky and heavy with zero advantage over paper.

I would only use them routinely if forced.

In some US stores they set prices so that the total is an even total after tax.

I actually found the contrary. 25 coins hold surprisingly well in a pocket, much easier than a thick set of 25-bills IMO.

25-Bills get wet with sweat and insulate your legs. I kinda prefer 25-coins over that.
