<p>[QUOTE=&quot;softmentor, post: 2115251, member: 10469&quot;]Actually, the idea that most cash register drawers only have 4 slots, and therefore no place to put halves or dollar coins is incorrect. Most have at least 5 slots and many have 6. Usually the last slot is filled with paperclips and useless stuff. </p><p>It is certainly my experience, though, that most cashiers are befuddled, or at least pause a moment, when they receive haves or coin dollars. At minimum they take a moment and look at them trying to figure out what it is. </p><p>I also have a few spots that I spend them where the cashiers are happy to see me and even ask when I don&#039;t have coin to give them. They save them.</p><p>I also have one customer at one of my Farmers Markets, who bought an album and has been starting a collection of halves. </p><p>Small (usually gold colored) dollars and halves can still be ordered at most banks, at least if the bank wants to. The delivery trucks (Brinks, Gardia, and others) have access to them from the Fed Res station where they pick up coin. It is not a problem for those. The large Ikes however, have not been available since my last pick up last summer. I have a standing order in, my bank submits that order request every week, but none have been available from the Fed Res for several months.</p><p>I am hoping that I will get at least one more order.&nbsp; Maybe I&#039;ll start selling them on Ebane for $2 each?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
