NumisCat Valued Member Canada 288 Posts	Posted 05/04/2018 11:09 am I've spent nickel dollars as tips without issue. Same as SHAFTA9a, they look at them at first and they get really excited when they find out they are real. Paper money is more hit and miss. I once created a real scene trying to spend 1954 twenties at an ikea. The cashier ran all kinds of tests, called the manager, people in line were trying to get a glimpse of what was going on. My girlfriend was mortified. I got a kick out of the whole thing. Report this Post to the Staff

When people spend their nickel dollars, do you find that some folk think they are silver? I've experienced this before. Report this Post to the Staff
