<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1530974, member: 22476&quot;]Update:</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I went back to the pizza place today and got a medium pizza, and I spent $7.50 in halves there again, and left one for part of a tip (I had planned on spending all $8 worth on the pizza and still getting change, but it turned out, less than $7.50 covered it. So I asked the cashier girl, &quot;Did you hand out any of those last halves in change to people, that I gave you the other day?&quot; and she said &quot;I don&#039;t know. I think there are still a few in the vault&quot; and I think thats a bad sign, unfortunately. They may have just put them all in the safe for all I know. *sigh* Why can&#039;y these people just use $2 bills and halves like any other denomination? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Get the public used to them by businesses always using them, and people will accept them more readily than accepting replacing the $1 bill with a dollar coin, or even, eliminating the cent in my opinion. The problem would be solved if vending and self checkout machines spit these two denominations out at their customers, since most people are not going to go out of the way to go to the bank just to get them. In fact, the BANKS and credit unions could solve the problem by handing them out, seeing as, no matter what, the maximum amount of halves you would have to carry is ONE, and the maximum amount of $2 bills you would have to carry is TWO. Now, how hard is that to handle? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now I know most of us Americans have a problem with changing our spending habbits and atitudes, but how hard could it be to cary around one half and one or two $2 bills? I mean, sure spending some money at stores after going to the bank might score you a few more halves or $2 bills, depending on how many stores you go to, and what denominations you spend. But I can almost gurrentee that almost no one would be walking around with more than five halves in their pocket if that many, or five $2 bills in their wallet if that many, as they could spend the halves and $2 bills almost as soon as they get them if they are going to another store or two, and at the end of the day, many people empy their pocket change and save it in a jar or piggy bank anyway. And as for any extra $2 bills, for them, tomorrow is another day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
