Over the past year I accumulated several hundred dollars in halves. I don't have rolls so I've been using them on lunch. Today I went to go get a sub and pay in halves. At first the guy thought they were quarters. Then he asked where I got them and said he had no clue these were even still around. He had them all spread over the counter in stacks of $1 (2 coins). As I left I heard him call over the manager "what do I do with these half dollars? There's no place for them in the trey!"

Ah I missed the half dollar thread. Feel free to move this post to that thread and close it. I also had 2 more half purchases to add to the main thread.

Ha I used some halves in the five below store and the cashier asked me "what are these?"
I said how old are you?
I was only kidding, but she said 17. Figures, nobody had used these in the last 12 years since she was 5
Rest in Peace

I'm not very happy with someone at our local Walgreens lately.

nice story

I'm known as the half dollar at my local supermarket
One cashier told me she loves it when I bring in halves because
the money counters in the back hate them ! I guess it makes her day to see them complain
