[QUOTE="W5WMW, post: 1303132, member: 25413"][FONT=courier new][SIZE=3]Does anyone here seek out Eisenhower dollars for circulation in the United States? Besides being novel to many, they're fun to see people's reactions. I sometimes use them as tips, which makes my tip more memorable than another of equal value. Like the three other rarely used circulating denominations (half-dollars, dollar coins, $2 notes), I almost never spend just one at a time, since that would give the impression that they're rare. Until the other day, the most I've found at any bank I've asked is 10. Then I asked a local credit union (not mine, I was getting money someone owed me) and I asked for all their Ikes in my denomination rundown, thinking they [I]might[/I] have a few. Turns out they had over 400. I bought them all and am having fun with them. That amout sure is heavy. Let us know what you think, and your stories if you do use them. [/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]
