<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Car10, post: 166287, member: 6644&quot;]This evening I took my two sons to a Papa Gino&#039;s to pick up a couple pizzas for dinner so my wife ,who worked late wouldn&#039;t have to cook. The bill came to $20.51. I gave the friendly person behind the counter a twenty dollar bill, a clad Kennedy half and a zinc cent. He appeared to be utterly confused, looked me in the eye holding the Kennedy half and with a straight face said &quot; I don&#039;t think we take these anymore&quot;.:rolling:&nbsp;&nbsp; I replied to him with a quick &quot;What are you talking about? It&#039;s U.S. legal tender. You have to take it.&quot;&nbsp; He followed with &quot;I&#039;ll ask my manager&quot; and dissappeared around the corner. The young and embarrassed&nbsp; counterperson returned with his apologetic manager folowwing him. The manager said to him that &quot;there were also silver dollars before the Susan B. Anthonys ... and some nickels used to have buffaloes on them.&quot;&nbsp; I was graciously allowed to spend my half dollar and we returned home triumphant with our pizzas and the knowledge that the Kennedy half has not in fact been de-monetized. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>What are they teaching kids in schools these days? To be sure numismatics 101 is not a required course at pizza school.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
