Spending "Funny" money. How many of you do it?

And by Funny Money I mean, Kennedies, Ikes, SBA's, Sac's and Pres. Dollars. Does anyone else find them fun to spend? I do it all the time and love the reactions. Plus I hate $1 bills anyway (I dump them the first chance I get and refuse to spend them). I also know that in the back of my mind that I could get somebody collecting coins by spending "funny" money. I also spend stuff like dateless buffalo's and common wheaties (30's, 40's, 50's)What about you guys?

I went into CiCi's Pizza the other day and used halves to buy my buffet. I usually stop in about once a month on my way from work to school. The guys eyes lit up and he said: "Wow, I haven't seen these in a while!" and he started looking at all the dates. I said: "Sorry, no silver" (hehe). He said "darn, I was hoping you didn't know.

It is too much fun spending "funny" money

 

I agree.

 

I went to my local surf shop and bought some sexwax, and I used Pres dollars.

And by sexwax I mean BOARD WAX! NOT anything sexual! LOL!!

 

I spent some gold dollars in Mcdonald's today and she just looked them over without saying anything.

 

Just took a look at my Dollar Coin Supply. Seems I'm running low.

 

I spend worthless wheatbacks and buffalo nickels. Dont usually get any comments. I do when I have spent Ike dollars. Several cashiers have put them under the till tray.

 

i usually spend some halves going through drive throughs, also bought a tank of gas using halves :/

 

How did that go over?

 

the lady inside was like

" What da &^%^&"

 

I use halves and pres dollars for lunch every saturday at a little Italian joint. A year ago I used a 1921 Morgan dollar as well as six buffalos to pay for a Coca Cola. The cashier was like, "Do you know what these are?", I went "yep". Needless to say that made his day.....

 

Last time I was at the mall, I bought an item for $12 entirely in $2 bills. I had security called on me

 

The Buffs I can understand, but a Morgan?!.

 

That was back when silver was'nt $45 an ounce, and I was feeling generous.

 

True...

 

I went to a coin shop out of town and spent a dollar coin, the person working there asked " Is this a dollar? " I was about to laugh and then realized she was serious. First thing I did when I got the door was facepalm

 

An employee at a coin shop didn't know what a dollar coin was! She should be fired!

 

I think it was the owner's daughter

 

When I travel to the US, I usually take some cash with me ("leftovers" from the last trip), and that often includes $1 coins. Have never heard any odd comments about them. Maybe I just go to the "right" places.

Every time I have spent Ikes or other dollar coins, the clerks take them without batting an eye. Frankly, it's disappointing.
