T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 10/08/2015 08:48 am I would have gotten so mad I'd rip the two dollar bill in half right in front of her, and said OK here is two singles; can I please purchase a roll of nickels ? Report this Post to the Staff

I agree, T-BOP, but I would also place my right hand inside my coat to imply that I might have a weapon.

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 10/08/2015 09:29 am I agree with the younger generation like teens and early twenties not knowing older currency. I sometimes pay for my dinner from Wendy's on Friday night in halves and I am sometimes asked by younger kids what are these? I say they are half dollars or 50 cent pieces they are real. I always get a look like I have 3 heads. I am scared some days for the future of these kids, its kinda scary. Report this Post to the Staff

It is a pending purchase (or exchange), the debt has not yet occurred.
