<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 959035, member: 19065"]I use dollar coins in the city (NYC) here all over and no one really blinks or thinks twice about accepting them. They are dispensed in change in the Subway when paying cash in the automated fare machines and the USPS until recently was still dispensing them from stamp vending machines, even had them in the till. If I see then in a cashiers till, I will request them in change. No biggie at all and it's not just because I like and collect coins that I'm willing to carry them or use them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I too can think of a number of times I've seen credit card transactions slow down a check out where as cash just gets things done. Despite TV commercials that suggest credit cards are quicker, it just ain't so! Now waiting for an unattentive waiter to return your change is a pain and generally gets them less TIPS (To Insure Prompt Service), that has nothing to do with cash vs. credit transactions. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
