I am going to read a statement about a new one-dollar coin. Please listen carefully as the questions that follow will be about your opinions on the new coin.

Under the Presidential Coin Act of 2005, the U.S. Mint is producing a new series of one-dollar coins. The series started in March 2007, and a new Presidential one-dollar coin is being minted about every three months that features the likeness of a previous President – starting first with George Washington and proceeding chronologically. During an approximate 10-year period, each President will be featured on a dollar coin, but no coin may bear the image of a living former or current President. This program does not cost taxpayers any additional money.

4. Now assume that you are at a cashier and receiving $3 in change. If the cashier gave you the choice between getting that change in dollar coins, dollar bills, or a mix of dollar coins and dollar bills, which would you choose?

Coins
Bills
A mix

(DK)
(Refused)

5. If you were making a cash purchase for $3 and you had both dollar coins and dollar bills in your wallet or pocket, how would you prefer to pay? With coins only, with bills only, or with a mix of both?

Coins
Bills
A mix

(DK)
(Refused)

6. If you were given a Presidential one-dollar coin as change, how likely would you be to use it in each of the following settings? Please use a five-point scale, where 5 is extremely likely and 1 is not at all likely. How about (read and rotate A-D)?

5 Extremely likely

1 Not at all likely

7 (Does not apply)

8 (DK)

9 (Refused)

A. As cash to pay for a purchase at a cash register _____( )

B. At a vending machine

C. As a tip for service _____( )

D. At a toll booth _____( )

MESSAGES

7. Now I will read you a list of various reasons why people are using the Presidential one-dollar coin. For each, please tell me how convincing a message this is for you to accept and use the coin. Use a five-point scale, where 5 means it is an extremely convincing message and 1 means it is not convincing at all. (Read and rotate A-L)

5 Extremely convincing

1 Not at all convincing

8 (DK)

9 (Refused)

A. It actually saves the government money to use coins rather than bills, and that savings helps to reduce the national debt

B. It helps the environment to use the dollar coins because it uses fewer resources to make a one dollar coin than to make 4 quarters or ten dimes.

C. Dollar coins last for 30 years, compared to dollar bills which last only about 18 months, so there is less need to make coins.

D. Use of dollar coins reduces fraud because coin counterfeiting is much less common than dollarbill counterfeiting

E. It is patriotic to use the dollar coins because they celebrate our American Presidents

F. The coins are excellent to give to children or grandchildren as presents

G. It is easier to use a one-dollar coin in a vending machine than having to use multiple smaller coins

H. Dollar coins are easier to throw into toll booth coin machines (rather than feeding $1 bills)

I. The one-dollar coin is easier to use in vending machines, rather than feeding in a $1 bill

J. The coins are excellent to use as tooth fairy gifts, stocking stuffers, and other kinds of gifts

K. The coins have a significant educational value by building awareness and knowledge of our presidents and our nation’s history, especially for children.

L. Vending machines are being retrofitted to accept the coins and being labeled to tell consumers that they accept the coins

8. Of all the messages that I just read to you, which one would you say would be the most convincing message that might encourage you to use more dollar coins? CHOOSE ONE, (INTERVIEWER NOTE: DON’T READ UNLESS RESPONDENT ASKS FOR THEM AGAIN)
