Ended - Project $100k- Circulating Dollar And Half Dollar Coins

Spent $14 in halves on gas and $2 in halves on a lottery ticket at the gas station.

$1.79 a gallon is so much better than $4 a gallon gas.

The young man working the counter said "Oh, your the one spending those". I said yes. He asked where I got them, I said the bank, he said why, I said to look for silver from when some old lady dies and her kids dump all of the silver she had saved at the bank.

He said he keeps pennies. He said the ones before a certain year because they are copper. He said he thought the year was 1986. I told him it was 1982 but you have to weight them since it was a split year. He told the woman behind the counter who was out of sight to stop rolling her eyes and shaking her head at him after he said that.

Spent $13 in halves at McDonalds for lunch. McRIB

Spent $1.50 in halves at the beer store. I would have spent more but I am tapped out of halves until I get my boxes tomorrow. I guess I have been on a spending spree this week

$322 to go

We are probably going to end up finishing this goal within a week or so...

and I hope we do another version of this thread
(since I still have over $750 in coins to spend)

I'd be fine with $250K, then $500K and then a million. I'm sure that would take forever, though.

Friday is my twice a year buy Pizza Hut pizza for my favorite pickup bank going back 4 years now (Chase) which I am now expanding to my 2nd string regular Friday pickup bank BMO going on 2 1/2 years and breaking the donut to the pizza expectation level from this point forward (I will have to call in a delivery since they are 10 miles from work but only 8 blocks from home but will be there to pick up my boxes 5 hours later) and now due to current dump restrictions from BMO and Chase my main dump is Associated Bank. I have been blacklisted at 2 of their locations and was ready to cash out and close my account there but there is one branch which has been nothing short of willing and generous everytime I have walked in there.

I always pay Pizza Hut with halves and dollar coins. The closest location seems to be run by the owner and one half. When I bought pizza for Chase and lunch at work in June the woman (I assume franchise owner) said "I don't have time to count it" and just took it. The half was trying to box up pizzas while asking about the deliveries. Seemed like what I have to deal with daily here at work. You can't run a business with 1 1/2 people.

Pics to follow on Friday even if we reach zero by then.

Well, just like the $2 thread, I finished this one.... Over the last three weeks I handed out $498 in half dollars to farmers market customers and stores. So of the $133 to go, now it is -$365 to go! LOL. I know I just do this as a combination convenience and being different, but it really does work well for my farm business. So, below is the completion item:

$0 to go

Thanks, Farm Flavor!

Now the new question- 200K or 250K? Whichever we choose, we can subtract the $365 when we start.

Now that's an idea.
