Good idea, thanks!

Yep. It's always fun using them at different places. Can help give such coins more attention that way

Today I purchased a Gatorade Zero and a Body Armor drink from the local Dollar General Store. The total was $3.21. I tendered a two dollar Federal Reserve Note, a one dollar coin, and a half dollar coin. The cashier said she was unable to accept my money. After consultation with her manager it was determined that Dollar General could accept the two dollar Federal Reserve Note. After a second conversation with the manager it was determined that Dollar General could not accept the dollar coin because of "company policy" and the company's "procedure for making deposits." I then tendered a two dollar Federal Reserve Note, a one dollar Federal Reserve Note, and a half dollar coin. The cashier then just gave me a condescending look and refused my payment. I then tendered a two dollar Federal Reserve Note, a one dollar Federal Reserve Note, a dime, two nickels, and a penny and the transaction was completed.

At least I tried to circulate a half dollar.

Ice cream when it is cold outside?

Yes, I will admit that I had HOT apple pie topped with COLD ice cream on Thanksgiving.
