Hope I am not late to the party and am allowed to play too?

May 2013~Yesterday

$1300 SBA, SAC, Pres:
$2000 Kennedy halves:

Groceries, cigarettes, coin supplies, gas, beer, DVDs, Arbys (100 roast beefs in groups of 10 with roll of halves and a single gold dollar each), cold remedies, housewares, anything and everything else.

In order to CRH I have to spend what I get before I can get more, so I hope this counts?

Last month had the need for a new computer. To purchase anything with Windows 8, there had to be a need and surely NOT a want for it; so took 215 Pres dollars in a bag in my pocket into an office store. Took forever for the ONE person to get off the phone to go into the locked area to get the computer because it was his last day at that place of employment as he was moving up at another company to a better job.

To make a long story short (TOO LATE!), I placed them onto the counter and he dropped the scanner behind it in shock, and said, "You know what it is my last do so I don't even care let's do this." Both of us began to count out 214 dollars to pay for the computer, leaving me with 1 left that I later spent on a donut.

$57,171.50 to go

Spent $50 in halves and dollar coins paying my Menards bill. The girl had to ask her manager if she could take them.

cc99999 are you going to put in your article how many cashiers have to "ask a manager" to see if they can accept coins as payment?

Walgreens always has to ask if they can take halves, loose or rolled. It is like these people don't even know what money is anymore.

$50 halves in groceries.

Learned one store one of the cashiers/managers buys them from the store to take her girl scout troop skating on some special half-dollar night. Another store didn't even know if they could take halves and had to ask a manager.
