Has anything like this happened to you? I put a $20 bill into a car wash machine for a $6 wash and got back dollar coins. What do you do with a heavy load of dollar coins that you suddenly get in change?

Actually, I'd be delighted to suddenly obtain some dollar coins. I can't remember the last time I ever got any from anywhere aside from actually asking for them at the bank. Yes, having 14 in your pants pocket is a little too much, especially thin dress pants. Heavy jeans aren't as much of a problem. Just carry a few at a time and use them for whatever you use a dollar bill for (except vending machines). PS: I am very surprised that the machine spit them out for you! |

Spend 'em! I like using them, quicker than counting out $1 notes.

The local coin laundry change machine gives out dollar coins with $10 & $20 bills. I'm not sure the ratio, but there is sign posted, I'll snap a picture. I guess it's a lot easier to dump in 8 $1.00 coins than 32 quarters.

Lol at just Carl's list. :P But yeah I keep any Presidents that I don't have yet and spend the rest. Unless of course you got large dollar coins... :P

Put them in your cup holder. They make great payment at drive throughs with cheap orders like Starbucks. Beats unbuckeling, pulling ones, putting wallet back, then rebuckeling. I buy rolls just to keep in my car

Also great for tollroads iff you don't have an electronic device for paying tolls. (I go through the Chicago toll road once a year. It isn't cost effective to get an EZPASS.) Dollar coins don't blow away in the wind.
