[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 212699, member: 4626"]Am reasonably sure the cashiers at the places where I spent these were native-born US citizens and they still haven't ever seen any, lol... Always gets a comment... some think they are a new coin, some think they're old coins. Rarely do I find anyone who is aware that they have been (and still are!) minted continuously from 1964 to the present. Working two years as a cashier at Sam's Club, a very high volume membership warehouse, I have only ever been paid with a half dollar once. In that same period of time have been paid in dollar coins about 10 times (Sacagaweas and SBAs) and with $2 bills about 5 times. Speaking of pesos, I used to actually find quite a bit of Mexican coins in US circulation. Not so much now; the bi-metallic coins they have minted since 1992 are very unlikely to get confused with US coinage.[/QUOTE]
