Plenty of options, by 1989 there were Eisenhower dollars (stopped minting in 1978), Susan B Anthony Dollars (stopped minting in 1981) and American Silver Eagles (started in 1986, still minting today!), all with a $1 face value. I got a number of Susan B Anthony’s myself as a kid in the 80s. That may well be the only thing they were used for. My amazing coin knowledge via Google and Wikipedia.
