I went to a Wells Fargo and bought five Sac/Pres dollars (I refuse SBA coins, too easy to confuse with quarters) from the teller's tray as I thought they would be fun to spend.

A bagger who was half his age had to explain to him that they were dollar coins, he said he hadn't "seen a dollar coin in ages". I couldn't help but laugh to myself about the whole thing, here was a seasoned cashier who deals with cash all day for a living and he was clueless about these things. Why was he so clueless? He was clueless due to a complete lack of use or interest with these coins from the general public.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
