I was shooting coins in a nearby park and got a solid 86-89 signal. Quarters usually ring up at 84-86 so I was half expecting to find a flattened can. Lo and behold, it was a buck!

Never know what you're going to find!
 
How about that? A modern U.S. coin worth bending over to pick up! Now, if they'll just do away with the paper dollar and zincolns, we'll be all set!
 
The Mint has several million of these in mothballs, probably never to be released. From Wikipedia:

By 2011, 1.4 billion uncirculated $1 coins were stockpiled,] which, if stacked flat, could reach from Los Angeles to Chicago. By 2016 this number might have reached two billion.[21]
