NEW DOLLAR COIN REJECTED BY PEEP SHOWS

PHOENIX (Wireless Flash) -- The new dollar coin is proving to be a bust with adult book stores and their coin-operated peep shows. Although the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin was popular with peep show operators in the early '80s, they don't have the hots for the new Sacagawea dollar. A spokesman for Phase 3, a Phoenix-based company that manufactures video peep devices, says only one customer has requested a machine that accepts the new Sacagawea coins, while the real demand is for machines that will take the new $5 and $10 bills. A U.S. Mint spokesman won't comment on Sacagawea's unpopularity with peep shows, but claims transit systems, airport locker rentals and soft drink machines love the little lady.
