[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 1244816, member: 18157"]You didn't say what your business is. I would think that the novelty of 50¢ pieces and $2 bills might get a few more butts in the door, but I'm rather certain it shouldn't be the central focus of a business plan...and I wouldn't spend much money to support it. I've seen claw (toy crane?) machines that pick up plastic balls containing unique items like $2 bills. That might be popular if it's not too difficult to catch one of them slippery things. [B]Note of Caution: [/B]I wouldn't put too much money into one of those machines because it's easy to till it forward and get the balls to fall into the hopper...not that I have any "first hand" knowledge of this! :rolleyes: 50¢ pieces are obsolete (don't kill the messager!). $2 bills may become very popular if the $1 bill is withdrawn in support of the $1 coin. Bottomline, there are a lot of macroeconomic factors that influence how people use money and I doubt one merchant will have much affect on that.
