<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 523583, member: 4552"]And to carry this further some time back I remember taking my kids to a place called Chuck-E-Cheese or something like that. Same with a place called Show-Biz-Pizza. Both had thier own money in coins. My kid used to save them instead of turning them in for prizes. Same as money. </p><p>Wonder how many remember the real Mills. Relatives in Missouri when I was a kid gave me some. Still have them. They were 1/10th and 1/2 of a cent types. Some were plastic, some metal. Some green and some red. Supposed to be used for taxes so that if your bill at a store was $5.97 and there was a $0.005 sales tax you could use those Mills. Naturally the government fixed that by simple raising all sales taxes. Note at a bank you get xx amount in interest. Does it ever come out exact? Who gets the extra when your interest is in less than a cent now? </p><p>All this would be similar if the cent was stopped. You would just either get things rounded up or down. Or possibly just get a coin made for Chuck-E-Cheese instead.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
