Ardon New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 11/18/2007 10:39 am I just paid for something with a couple of Presidential dollars. The lady collecting the money said: "Oh, my what are these? I've never seen these before." I replied: "They are dollars." She said: "Oh, did you make them yourself?" The man seated next to her explained that they really were money. She then proceded to buy them for herself from the cash register. She then asked why I would spend such valuable coins. I told her she could get them at her local bank, but she didn't believe me. I really like the Presidential dollars, because they are so very shiny. A lightly circulated one looks almost as good as a proof cent. I wish they would also release the president's spouses into circulation, as I think those are very good looking coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 11/18/2007 3:03 pm I know how you feel. I had a similar experience on Friday when I paid for a sandwich and gave the cashier a Jefferson Dollar. The cashier spent a good 30 seconds studying the dollar before telling me she is going to buy this one. Its amazing to see the reaction on people's faces when you hand them a dollar coin. Priceless.

Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 11/18/2007 7:35 pm I enjoy spending the Presidential dollars. The reaction has been almost always the same -- the clerk takes a long, long look, and then accepts them. The reaction suggests they know about the coins, but never see any.

inacoffeebuzz Valued Member United States 204 Posts	Posted 11/19/2007 10:29 am I bought something from a dollar store with one. The clerk told me "it feels kind of light". I was tempted to say "yeah, they didn't come out as good as the last batch", but I'm not sure she would have found it as funny I would have. Report this Post to the Staff
