Accept $1 Coins? Call Supervisor!

Nice!


Same here, you get "looks" when you spend them.

I turn in dollar coins to the bank and trade them for bills.

I spoke with my bank's manager one time, and he said they send
all the dollar coins back to the central bank when they come in.
He said no one wants them, and if he let them stick around at his
bank, sooner or later he'd be drowning in them. He can't get anyone
to take them other than his central bank.

They consider it wasting there time to call for something like that. They can arrest for that considering it a "prank call".




They don't have power to do a lot of things they get away with, some of which is good like the annoying stores that want to refuse cash money and others are Ferguson, Missouri....

Different places have police that deal with different things. Around here they are not going to arrest someone for paying with cash, plain and simple, as they have other things to do that do not waste their time.

Being born in the late 80's, 1988 to be exact. I still knew what half dollars and Ike's were. I worked at a gas station in college for about 18 months and during my time there maybe had 8-9 halfs come in and no Ike's rarely any small dollar coins. We were located right off the interstate, so plenty of traffic. In the past 3 years I've worked at a couple distilleries where they give free samples, two dollar bills as tips were common. We saw much more small dollar coins, as the parking lots in town gave them as change and people wanted to spend them when they had them!

A few years ago, in Orlando, I also tipped dollar coins and the waitress was probably either mad or confused because she came back and said, "Thanks for the quarters! I need them for the tolls." It had to be explained to her that they were dollars.....AND they were the golden ones.

I think that I may have passed this story along awhile ago that was told to be by a Columbus Ohio retired motorcycle cop.

I seems that a fellow came into the police station to pay his $100 traffic ticket in pennies. The clerk refused to take them because it was more than she could accept. The fellow left and came back about an hour later to pay his ticket wearing a cowboy rig with real .45's. Well the clerk hit the panic button and every cop in the place came running with guns drawn demanding the fellow put his hands up. The chap refused and there was a standoff until the watch commander came up and calmed the situation down. Telling the assembled cops that he was within his right. The fellow then paid his fine and proceeded to the public dinner that was located in the station and he was escorted by cops no matter where he went. Even to the public restrooms.

This event happened back in the '70's so I don't know if the laws have been changed or not. It does make a good story whose moral is "There is more than one way to create a problem when there is no problem". I wouldn't recommend doing the same thing today.

I agree with those who have said the parental and public education schooling appears not be done properly.

The wife and I went to the local Home Depot to purchase some screening and tried to purchase a length of 6 feet. The clerk was real serious when he said that he couldn't sell the amount because all he was authorized to sell the product in whole yards only. I told him that it was alright we would take 2 yards. He was happy.

Ignorance can be both bliss and happiness at the same time.

And we're sick of reminding you to hold your posts to the same level of civility as the thousands of others posting somehow manage to. This is your third warning about it. As honest advice, you should probably just leave of your own accord because this is behavior you obviously don't wish to change and the next time we see it you're going away anyway.
