<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mralexanderb, post: 1179253, member: 7851&quot;]<b>Spent them if you&#039;ve got them</b></p><p><br /></p><p>For the last 3 years I&#039;ve been getting and spending the Sacagawea/Native American $1 coins. The most appreciative recipients are waiters and anyone who gets a tip. I&#039;ve found that convienience stores (7-11, gas station stores etc.) have told me that they won&#039;t use them as change because too many people question them, slowing down their intake of cash. They just return them to the bank. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Last week I was in Anna Maria Island, Florida and passed these out (spent) the NA 2011 $s, and all seemed pleased to get a new coin. Most east coast people who order these coins from the mint, free shipping, get a P mint mark. I hope some of the people who got my coins appreciate the D mint marks. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ll be going to Mexico this summer but I think I won&#039;t try and spend them there. I can see that it&#039;ll be way too much confusion to bother with. Maybe I&#039;ll just leave them as tips, and explain that they are real U.S. dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
