Ended - Project $100k- Circulating Dollar And Half Dollar Coins

Well, the last two weeks at the farmers market and around town, the usual amounts of half dollar coins were given as change. Last week was $226, the week before was $273. As noted we give out enough in a year that I cover the remainder of the challenge each year! Also, I happened to get and use $83 in mixed $1 coins (no Ikes) as well because we were low in dollar bills received that get used for bill paying on the cash bills. I keep hoping to get circulated half dollar coins of the years after 2001 that I do not have. We shall see. So...

$10152.50 to go

I spent $5 in dollar coins on lunch Saturday, and another one on groceries the next day. Later on, I spent $13 in dollar coins at a sandwich shop. This is $19 total.

$10,133.50 to go.

Gah, I misread the total.

I should have knocked it down to $10,130.50 and the above post further reduces it to $10,121.50.

$10,097 to go

Total Ike$ Spent on Project 100K = 7786

Spent $14 in halves and dollar coins including 1 Ike at the beer store.

Lost $1 in halves on betting on what time a degenerate coworker would actually show up for work today.

$10,071 to go

I spent a single dollar coin to help pay for a sandwich at D'Angelo's.

$10,063 to go.

Spent $9 in dollar coin including 1 Ike at Walmart.

The kid looked at them. Counted them. Went back and looked at the Ike. I told him it was a dollar. He counted again. He went back and looked at the SBA. Then he just stood there and I told him again it was $9 and I guess he just gave up and took my word for it.
