<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7955376, member: 103207"]I've had some fun with Ike's and half dollars. Between 15 and 20 years ago I took my wife to Europe and brought with me an Ike dollar. I had other US coins too. A few days before coming home we were eating in a small restaurant in Holland the place was great. We had an older woman that was waiting on us. She was fantastic very helpful and spoke pretty good English. Anyway when it came time to pay I pulled out my Dutch money and a hand full of change. In my hand was the Ike dollar I brought with me. As I was paying her she spotted the Ike and asked what it was. I told her it was a US dollar with Ike on it. She said "the general". I told her yes as well as a president. She asked if she could look at it. I handed it to her and told her she could have it. She didn't want to take but, remember seeing him. I told it was ok for her to take it. I told her I wanted her to have it. I told her I have plenty back home. She thanked me as we left and then she showed it to some of the younger workers. Good Times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
