[QUOTE="Sholom, post: 546144, member: 17753"]That's interesting! One of the two I went to was Wachovia near Union Station. Thanks. I didn't realize Metro accepts them. If they do, then, yes, perhaps there is a chance of circulation between them and street vendors near the metro. I also tried my first order from the Mint ($250 for $250 no postage) . . . haven't received them yet. I get a kick out of reading stories of people trying to spend them. One well known blog (can't remember which) noted that cashiers in their 20's and 30's seemed to accept them more easily than those that were older. My wife always has interesting stories -- the last one she spent she taught a teenager about them. (And my wife has next to zero interest in this stuff -- but will always happily comply if I ask her to spend them! :D) (My next social experiment is to give them as lunch money to my daughter, and ask her what reaction _she_ gets)[/QUOTE]
