Exactly. In every other country where coins have replaced notes, they've just said "OK, on such-and-such a date we're replacing the note with the coin, everybody come in and swap your notes for coins!" and a few months later you don't see the notes any more. I don't know why the US Mint has got the idea that they need to keep printing 'em both.

Of course there are two other factors that don't help:

a) Previous dollar coin designs have been ugly and filled with misguided feminism (I still don't know and don't care who Susan B Anthony was, and I only know Sacagawea from The Simpsons), and

b) Previous dollar coin designs have been damn near indistinguishable from quarters by feel. Make 'em bigger or thicker or give 'em flattened edges or a hole in the middle or something! Preferably all of the above so you can look at it and say "Wow, that sure looks like a dollar's worth!"

I won't want to - I'll carry bills, but I won't carry coins.
