<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 4887719, member: 100459"]I have several hundred dollars in spendable coins. When i go to some stores, I take a dollar in coins for the exact change. For Wal Mart or other main stores, they want a charge card or checks. Self-checkout only takes credit cards. My Credit Union is hoarding coins for their "big" customers for change, yet the stores don't give you change in coins. I though that stores were required to take "legal tender" i.e., coins and currency. I remember in a law course I took ages ago, that it is a federal crime to not take "legal tender". It's been a while.. Anyway, I went to a Dollar General recently, and I watched the customers paying. If they paid with cash, the cashier would take the bills but would not give change. After each sale like that, I saw the cashier take the amount of change that belonged to the customer and but it in a bowl, instead of keeping it in the cash register. This cashier really got pissed when I paid in cash and gave her exact amount using the $1 in coins I carried.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
