When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff

stang1968 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 10/30/2019 10:50 am I've spent halves, Ikes, golden dollars, and SBAs all at various times. I've had to educate cashiers several times that a Half Dollar is worth 50 cents, and also is not a Silver Dollar. I used to train new cashiers at a regional grocery store and again at a national retailer, and I would encourage them to make their customers change with these coins if they were in their drawer. The way our cash drawers were arranged, the dollar and Half coins would need to go into the bay with the extra rolls. That way at the end of the night, we didn't have oddball coins to put in the safe. Report this Post to the Staff
Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 11/15/2019 11:29 pm I've been tossing halves to the street musicians I pass by downtown for a while. (Most of them are entertaining. If they're any good, I have some Sac's too.) This evening, the guy thanked me, and said they were cool. I can't speak to his experience spending them, but it made me smile.
