<p>[QUOTE=&quot;softmentor, post: 2510169, member: 10469&quot;]Honestly I think we tend to re-circulate the same halves over and over again. From us - to the bank - to the truck service and their coin counting/rolling service - back to us again. I think the best thing we can do is put as many halves back into people&#039;s hands as possible, so that we don&#039;t see those again and again.</p><p>Spend them. I spend about $80 per week or more in halves. Some of that is at my booth at the Farmers Market, where I sell the dates I grow. but at least half of the $80 is in retail stores: fast food, gas, coffee, dollar store, what ever. Most of the time the people receiving them think &quot;Wow cool&quot; I have one Del Taco where there are 2 young women who get all excited every time I come by. They &quot;buy&quot; all of them out of the register. I pay for my whole meal with just halves. My coffee just in halves. and so on. By doing this I am taking almost a box per month of common halves out of circulation and won&#039;t have to look at them again. that means on to the next box of possibilities.</p><p>I realize this is not a BIG solution but I think it helps the over all quality of the boxes we get. Also more people become interested in coins. I know at least 3 of the folks I pay with halves have started collecting them.</p><p>Just a though. Your mileage may vary.</p><p>Oh, and I sort out the scratched, marked, gunked, damaged, and ugly ones, they go into rolls and back to the deposit bank. I give out (pay out) nice clean ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
