Message:: [QUOTE="Drago the Wolf, post: 1498220, member: 22476"]Hey, I found out the reason why self checkouts, though a half will comfortably fit through its coin slot, the self checkout spits it back out in the reject tray, due to the fact that, the coin counter gets smaller as the coins go down the slot. There are no holes down in the machine big enough to fit a half. I found this out when I went shopping with my mother, and she accidently put the grocery money in the coupon slot, instead of the money slot, and the manager had to come over and open up the machine to get the money out, so I asked him if the machines could just be programmed and a tube added to accept halves, and he apologized and told me about the coin counter issue and that they are not equipt to take halves. I STILL think that ALL machines that take cash and are still being made for future use, should be made to accept halves. I do not care if some people do not like halves or $2 bills. I do not care about dollar coins, as we already have $1 bills that work just fine, but the 50 cent and $2 denominations SHOULD be circulated as any other denomination. I for one would rather carry one, less easier to lose half, and put two $2 bills in my wallet instead of stuffing it with up to four $1 bills at a time, at times. There I go again. :dead-horse: :devil:[/QUOTE]
