paparet Valued Member United States 253 Posts	Posted 08/05/2013 12:18 pm I just spent about $20 in small dollar coins yesterday and got comments like "I haven't seen any of these in a while" but had no trouble in their being accepted. That many is a bit heavy in the pocket, but I think we can get used to having up to four in our pocket if $1 bills are no longer in use. Report this Post to the Staff

For the few who don't, they still accept them, and some even think they are 'cool'. I really believe that they would be accepted by most people if this was the only option. I've never had someone turn down dollar coin but I have had an interesting experience with half dollars. I was trying to pay for a pizza with a roll of half dollars. The cashier said she would have to check with her manager. The manager came out and said no, he wouldn't take them. I replied that that was all I had so if he wanted to sell the pizza (that he they already made) he would have to accept the half dollars. He did, but said "This time only".

When tipping your servers, ask them if they would like X number of one dollar notes or 2X number of one dollar coins.

But even that would be odd because the two dollar notes would ramp up so there would really never be a need to have more than one. Report this Post to the Staff
cjspearsdog Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 08/06/2013 11:33 pm I have been spending a bunch of IKEs around my town . I think it is funny to see the look on peoples faces. I also spent a 2 dollar bill at mcdonalds along with some IKEs. It caused a back up in the drive through lane cause the teeenage girl thought it was fake money. lol Report this Post to the Staff
