See Daffy's message for the reasons I have heard from most people. We already have $1 coins and most vending machines accept them. The Mint/Govt has just continued to put off dropping the note. It was planned back as far as the 80s if I remember correctly. Now, they are even introducing the "redesigned" $1 note soon, if it didn't already happen. Just a waste of money in my opinion.
