Message:: [QUOTE="Douglas, post: 7074, member: 617"]Yeah, you have to "ask" for 50's and hundred's at the bank. Here's a little story though, my wife and I were getting ready to pay at a resturant, she figures up the total with tip and I reach in my pocket. I counted out the money and just left it on the table and walk out. My wife, God bless her, picked it up to recount and low and behold, I had mistakenly put a 100 in place of a ten. The waitress would have been a very happy person. A bunch of us used to go to Boone's Tavern every pay day to cash our checks. Boone always paid in ten dollar bills, he had cigar boxes full of them. We asked Boone why all the tens? His answer was "If I make a mistake, it's only ten bucks". I never forgot that and after my resturant episode it made me remember old Boone. Getting back to the dollar bill issue, I think any future coin has to be of a distinctive size and look in order for it to go over. The suzie was a failure and the Sac gets very nasty looking. The Sac is a good size and maybe they could come up with a metal that holds its' luster.[/QUOTE]
