why would 800 halve smake a big bang? that is only 4/5ths of a box. when I dropped my last box it burst open not with a bang, but a whimper. not a single string and son wrapper burst. one did split a little, but that was fine. i think people just dont understand that money is money. they all want plastic. if ANYONE ever tells me they can't take a few rolls of coins to pay for something, they will end up me in line with a box of pennies for my net purchase, and I will make them count it all out! Walmart once tried to tell me they couldnt take a roll of quarters for a loaf or bread a jar of peanut butter and some jelly. I told her then someone could reshelf it. oddly the very7 next week the started getting those self serve machines that I feed up to 160 coins into for various things. 160 quarters is plenty for groceries with $40, but 160 pennies will just get a loaf of bread. still can't get the article to load, but a city getting upset about being paid? pay me in any form of cash. I know how to count and search it for errors and varieties.  that is probably what took them so long to do, sort out any silver and stuff they wanted to keep from it. |

Who said they were wrapped? ;) Loose my friend, dropped from about 6' to their low desk. That's nearly 20lbs.

unrlled, my luck would be have them drop one at a time and roll everywhere under foot. or since I keep lose ones in one of those chip can things it would probably punch a hole through the floor like an iron spike!

That right there is funny. It could have only been better if she had paid using pennies.

I would happily accept the old gold coins that are no longer technically legal tender. Or, let someone pay me in Half Cents. I would not complain. |

I don't blame her! They're charging high prices here in Pennsylvania, Luzerne Country.

Ultimately the only thing that gives currency value is your ability to pay taxes with it/inability to pay taxes with anything else.
Anyone refusing to accept any legal tender to pay taxes is actually breaking the law. I bet if she threatened to call up the US treasury to tell them that their coins are no good to pay taxes in that town, there would be a different reaction.
