	I seem to recall that when the Susan B. dollar coin came out,
there was some problem with acceptance.  I remember a case in which a
business, restaurant I think, refused to accept a SBA as payment.  The
result, as I recall, was that the court ruled that SBA's must be accepted
as dollars, and that refusal to accept them resulted in cancelation of
the debt.
	This was several years ago, so I may not have everything right.
If anyone else can confirm/expand on my memory, I would appreciate it.
