Operation Put Awesome Coins Into Circulation.

I've done some circulating in my area. The local bank clerks now knows that "the coin with the old bald guy" is called an Eisenhower dollar.

Some store clerks however are still hesitant about the gold presidential coins. Every once in awhile I get some half dollars and dollar coin rolls to use a change in making some purchases. Hardly anyone comments about receiving a Kennedy half. Somehow I just can't bring myself to spend either a Franklin or Liberty half or any of my other silver coins.

I've often thought of spending a Washington half dollar or any other commerative half dollar. I really don't think that a non-collector store clerk would accept them as "real" currency.

I can feel your pain about putting silver into circulation. It hurt really bad putting 40 silver quarters into circulation. I think I would have had a heart attack or a brain aneurysm if I had put 90% silver coins into circulation. But... I feel good because some people are going to find some cool coins.
