Shadz, the Coinage Act of 1965 makes all US coins legal tender. This includes the Half Cent, Two Cents, and yes, the Twenty Cents coin. Do not confuse what the mint is authorized to make with what is defined as legal tender. For those who cannot get Shadz link, copy-paste... ht tp://web.archive.org/web/20110611122411/ht tp://www.usmint.gov/faqs/circulating_coins/?action=faq_circulating_coin |

I am a cashier and if somebody was paying with anything like this I would gladly accept them!  Edited by TheForce

WE would, but cashiers won't even take half dollars, think they would believe a 20 cent coin was real not fake? Some sadly think a $2 bill is fake cause they don't see it all the time!
Cashiers just sadly aren't educate in pieces of money, just how to quickly get a customer out of the way to TAKE their recognized money and move on to the next. Grocery store earlier I was asked if I wanted fries with my purchases, then the girl apologized cause she though she was at her other job already.

I wonder if the machine would actually take an old 20 cent coin? Unfortunately I don't have any so I can't check. Any volunteers?

If you're out of 20 cent coins to try, how about ten 2 cent coins?

It's good that cashiers arent all educated about money. Otherwise I wouldn't have got a few of my silver dimes back as change and would have far less wheat pennies.  Edited by Mayflower2020

 We need to back off a bit before someone takes the bait and breaks the family friendly rules.  |

Below is the line and I hope I am staying north of it, but I will jsut say that something gives tipping your bag boy a whole new meaning. Thankfully most aren't allowed to take tips at the grocery anymore and are still required to offer assistance getting things out of the store at some grocers like they would at a lumber yard or home improvement store. I wonder if someone looks inside that CVS machine if it has a European manufacturer anywhere listed or Mexican? Does China have 20 (Yuan?) coins right now, I don't remember. I would bet anyone you handed a 20 cent piece would think it were a dime anyway, and I know Coinstar will reject them cause I was shown so when someone happened to be emptying one one time, and they made sure to point out EVERYTHING in the machine goes to a reject tray it doesn't keep ANY coins that that model machines gets that aren't counted.

Im sure the mechanisms in the casings are different or able to be set to various denominations for various countries coinage. The casings are just "cardboard cutout" non specific generics. My guess is they are made in Europe. Probably Germany.

My wife worked at Sears for a number of years then took a position at Kohls. After she had been at Kohls a few weeks that let her start doing the closing announcements. At the end of her announcement she thanked all the customers for shopping at Sears
