$47,944.50 to go


Side note: I was going to spend more Pre$ at dinner, but my normal server was hoping I would show up with Golden Dollars (I was later than usual). She bought all I had on me, so I am not counting those.

Spent $44.50 in halves and dollar coins at Walmart on the way to work.

Spent $20 in halves at the beer store on the way home.

$47,841 to go

I just can't see spending full rolls of half dollars at a store. That is like handing the cashier a $10 bill. There is no fun or education in that. I want to see the person's reaction, even if I have seen this person before, by putting the actual coins in their hand. Maybe it's just me.

I spent
2 golden dollars and 1 half dollar at marathon expo
1 half at Qdoba
1 dollar at grocery store
2 dollars and 2 halves a partial payment for a gyro (yumm)

i wish it was as easy as a $10 bill some times, but they had NO problems and no questions yesterday when I spent them. Other than the usual "Is this a 50 cent piece", to which I respond, "No a half dollar, says so on the back". I doubt I would spend something with "50 c" written on it cause that stopped with Barbers?

it jsut puzzles me when they open the roll to count and then hand some back. well I counted out $13 3 times yesterday and not a single problem.

I jsut wonder what the deal is? you take the time to be nice to roll them for them and they rip into and toss some back and give you gruff. you bring them loose and they say nothing.

Maybe I should try taking loose pennies and see what they say?

it is jsut prehiduce is all it is, nobody thinks of coins as money because it takes SOOO many to make a dollar, unless it is a dollar coin, then it really confuses then and they ask things like what is the gold worth, and I have no response to that but nearly facepalm every time.

bar had no problems with loose ones, but don't recall how many there because no reciepts so ahve to double check in a bit to see how many was spent there and report back after coffee kicks in.

1 Pre$ in snack machine
6 Pre$ for grocery item
