<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gmaster456, post: 1186659, member: 30703&quot;]This story is&nbsp; from another forum &quot;I had just finished my workday in Sausalito, and was ready for a cup of coffee and a relaxing walk before the commute home. I walked into the coffee shop, ordered an americano, and tried to pay with 4 Half Dollars. I don&#039;t know where the owner was from but he had a strong accent, and was clearly not native born. He looked at the coins and proclaimed that they were no longer any good, and he wouldn&#039;t accept them. I pointed out that I didn&#039;t have any other money with me, and that american money is always good once it&#039;s made and that he could ask anyone in the whole place what they were and if they were any good. He still refused to accept them, so I was going to have to give up on my coffee. When I told him I wouldn&#039;t be able to pay with anything else, and that he could just dump the coffee out, he got really angry and started yelling at me to take my coffee and leave. </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, since weasling a free cup of coffee was the farthest thing from my goal, I decided that I&#039;d just toss the 4 coins in his tip jar, so that maybe later he could look into it and figure out what they were. To my shock and amusement, he snatched the jar off the counter and wouldn&#039;t even let me put them in there. He kept telling me he didn&#039;t want them, and to take them away. </p><p><br /></p><p>Wow, I mean I didn&#039;t even know what to say at this point...This guy was very adamant that he wanted nothing at all to do with these coins. On my way out the door, I decided to just toss them in the bucket that the band had for their tips...there were four players, I&#039;m sure they appreciated the extra 2 bucks.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
