<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alcochaser, post: 354233, member: 11241&quot;]Since their inception I have doing my part to get these things into circulation. I spend roll upon roll of the things, and the response has been almost perfectly positive here. I spend them for all manner of purchases. From a few cents to $50.... yes I have used 50 coins to pay for the meal....they are really small and easy to count.... But even when I use that many, I often see the staff buy them out of the register.. Particular oriental or latino personage, they really seem to like these coins. If the staff does not get them, other people in line try to buy them off the register or get them back in change, or they try and buy them from me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have not kept track, but I often run my bank out of what they order. When they run out of new rolls, I buy what loose dollar coins they have on hand. it&#039;s -considerable- the amount I personally have put into circulation, along side SBA&#039;s and Sacs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since I mentioned the SBA&#039;s i have noticed they no longer get the negative reaction they once did.</p><p><br /></p><p>People are getting used to the one dollar coins, surely buy slowly. Machines take them most places, one transaction at a time. Coin by Coin, Roll by Roll, and Fedbox by Fedbox.....</p><p><br /></p><p>I even notice them given out as change now... but only if someone else spent them into the register, and the staff did not buy them out. LOL, small steps....</p><p><br /></p><p>At the very lease the Mint is gonna make a killing on Seinorage.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have MUCH MUCH less luck using Halves...... they really are obsolete... and many try to count them as dollars... or quarters.... or both...</p><p><br /></p><p>Twos around here do not even get</p><p>&nbsp;a second glance, they get taken and shoved under the register tray...</p><p><br /></p><p>I spend them at coin stores too..... only place that gets uncomfortable at me spending them, they take them out of sight quick.. because most are trying to sell the very same coins I spent at a premium!</p><p><br /></p><p>Ikes are too few and far between to use much, I use them for tips... people do try and buy them off me though.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the small dollars, allways make a SUPER buzz, where ever I spend them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
