Explain this to a Canadian (2 dollar bills)

6. Retailers hated the coin

because there weren't enough slots in a cash register for both dollar bills and dollar coins. They were mostly circulated and in daily use in Las Vegas and Atlantic City and in casinos elsewhere.

As for customers, they've rejected most attempts at a dollar coin because they're too small, too close to the size of a quarter, and the distinctive rim on the Susan B Anthony dollar wasn't enough to save it from being mistaken for a quarter, something that made people mad.

I suppose they think a woman needs to be somewhere on our currency since they've evicted Miss Liberty in favor of male politicians on the rest. However, anything with a female face is being made too small to be practical.

ETA: I have the first dollar my dad earned. The date on it is 1923, which you can barely read since he kept that dollar in his wallet until he died at the age of 89.
