They're just not common. They seem to be a lot more common in the south west since you get people spending them from the casinos. Most places you wont ever see them but it does happen. A lot is just location Report this Post to the Staff

DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 09/27/2012 7:42 pm I bet ninamason gets some interesting reactions from people who don't recognize Dollar coins. The only place where I've been handed Dollar coins in change by a cashier (without my asking for them) was the Denver Mint Gift Shop. They always had BU business strike Dollar coins in their cash drawers, until Joe Biden's hammer came down in late 2011. Quote: Half dollars are, in fact, seen in circulation. One of my Half-Dollar hunting friends spends his common-date clad Halves at grocery stores, to avoid the usual "dump bank" issues. Report this Post to the Staff
ninamason Pillar of the Community United States 1227 Posts	Posted 09/27/2012 9:49 pm DNA, occasionally I get people who wrinkle their noses and ask for "real" money. The rest are split pretty much evenly between charmed fascination, "What's this?" and then acceptance upon explanation, and tucking the coins neatly away without a second glance (these aren't all regulars, either--there are apparently folks out here who just know and accept the coins as well as the bills). . . . oh. Also a small but significant set of older folks who remember the last days of readily-circulating Peace dollars and silver certs, who are actually outright happy to get these coins because it reminds them of "the good old days."

sirdizzy Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 09/27/2012 11:51 pm I have never had trouble spending dollar coins, I spend them all the time normally I get the cool reaction when I spend and am pretty sure the clerk might be buying them out of their till after I leave. My bank orders them in just for me because I buy $16 worth every single monday (my check is an odd amount of $16 so I always get $16's worth). Report this Post to the Staff
