Today I went out with a co-worker of mine to get some lunch at a diner near our office. I paid the entire bill in halves. The bill was 21.18 I left exactly 50 half dollars on the table.  |

I paid for gas with 90 half dollars today. He took about 20 minutes to count it because he had to look at each one. A gas station is a great place to dump all your unwanted change :)

I use my halves to pay for gas, pet food, tips at diners and more. Always interesting comments. Many don't know what they are and think they are dollars. Of course, I'm honest and set them straight.

I put 10-20 in my pocket anytime I go somewhere, and just slowly distribute them around. I love taking them to bars, and tipping with them.

the next thing you know, you'll end up getting a few gallons of water mixed in with your gas =\

I bought gas on the way back from a business trip this week. I tipped a waitress a roll after having a great steak dinner (the bill was 60.00), I left a roll for the maid in my hotel. 6 halves and a quarter went to the toll booth guy last night.... My wife went to the store today and bought dog food, and some things and more gas too....amazing they spend just like REAL money!

I used to pay at school or fast food places with halves. The people always looked at me like I was crazy. They would always say. "Wow, a half dollar, I'm going to switch that out and keep it!" I just though to myself....go to the bank and get some if you really need them.

I bought some plants for my yard a few weeks ago and paid with $100 in $1 rolls. I also was at a small carnival recently and paid for a few items with half dollars and $1 coins (including some new Presidential dollars). The one lady got really excited about the golden dollars and thought it was real gold. |

Yeah, my wife spent a roll of my 90% silver Kennedys by mistake a couple of weeks ago. Now, all my silver rolls are marked with a highlighter.

yup BadThad, everytime I pay with a two, the clerk looks at me, then the bill, then at me again, and finally after thinking it all over, goes and marks the bill with one of those special pens to see if it is real or not.

hmm I might just have to start my roll searching with Kennedy halves, just so I can spend them afterwards |

I always pay toll booth with $1, half, or ike. It seems that is the only situation I remember to spend these funky money. Now I start to pay fast food with coin money.
