What Happens When You Pay With Half Dollars?

Those Presidential dollars are ugly. I wouldn't take them either

Same thing in the US, no one is OBLIGATED to accept legal tender. So says the Treasury Dept.

Can I pass by a few times? I'll bring different kids each time :)

That's a neat idea. Unless the kids think it's a foil covered chocolate coin.

I used to get my kids to do jobs around the house for two dollar bills and Presidential dollars. Since they never saw any of them anywhere else they thought they were getting something special.

Biggest and only issue I've had over the years is a clerk whining that "halves don't fit in the till tray."

I've spent halves, Ikes, golden dollars, and SBAs all at various times. I've had to educate cashiers several times that a Half Dollar is worth 50 cents, and also is not a Silver Dollar. I used to train new cashiers at a regional grocery store and again at a national retailer, and I would encourage them to make their customers change with these coins if they were in their drawer. The way our cash drawers were arranged, the dollar and Half coins would need to go into the bay with the extra rolls. That way at the end of the night, we didn't have oddball coins to put in the safe.

Well done.
