In the "Strange but true" section on the comics yesterday, it said that the U.S. mint had once considered making coins with holes in the middle. Can anybody tell me more about this?

I’m assuming it’s true, because it was in the paper, but one has to think of the possibility that they got confuzzled.
When was it?
How serious were they about doing it?
Are there any countries that have currency in a different form than bills and round coins?
