GRAND RAPIDS -- The push to get more $1 coins in the
hands of consumers will take to the streets this
month, when one of the U.S. Mint's "Real Change
Exchange Trucks" makes stops around West Michigan.
The biodiesel vehicle, designed to resemble an
armored truck, will make stops in the region Friday
through Nov. 24, offering to exchange dollar bills
for the $1 coins.
Stops are planned with 40 area merchants and United
Bank branches in Wayland, Hopkins, Dorr, Gun Lake,
Caledonia and Byron Center. The Mint truck tour is
part of a pilot program in Grand Rapids and three
other cities, testing the popularity of the $1 coin
featuring U.S. presidents.
