Spent $9 in dollar coins for lunch at Taco Bell.

Spent $20.50 in halves at the beer store. The guy in line behind me said "You should hold onto those" The cashier informed him I am a regular and spend a lot of them. I told him I have $2K worth in the truck to dump if he wanted any.

I don't know if this counts since it was so long ago, but I remember spending 2 Presidential dollars at a vending machine in a Baton Rouge Hotel during the Christmas holidays...

i came into the thread with about three grand spent my first time that was for all of last year, so I am sure your two dollar coins count, so long as they are spent and put into circulation is how I understand it.

$5.50 halves: tools

after spending about $300 at this tool store, they tried to decline halves as able to spend there anymore this morning. so I think my next trip in there for tools will be with a box of pennies, since they can use those for change at least. see how they like half dollars after that! when I bought the grill yesterday the young girl at K-mart said, "I am American, I know what a half dollar is and that it is money so I will take it in my register!" stuck up stores only wanted plastic and monopoly money and can't figure out what coins are except tokens to give people in return for leftover portions of the monopoly money given by a customer.

Quotation of Zoran...

Is your name really Zoran? Because that's my name and I have never, EVER seen, heard, or read about anyone else with the name Zoran in the U.S.



That would be really cool...
