When is a half a dollar?
"Sibirskmoneta" wrote in message ... "mrcoin" wrote in message On on my way to the bank for a couple of rolls of halfs... Michael R I have had it happen more times than I care to remember, there is nothing like having to explain that the coin is worth less than they think it is. I think the most fun I had was a few years ago, I spent a half, an Ike, a SBA and Sackie buck in the same transaction. It's mean people like you who exacerbate the stress problems of our young people today. Everyone knows that ancient coins are no longer meant to be spent. ; ) Bruce |

When is a half a dollar?
When you try Jewel's or Pete's.
Never really had halves confused for a dollar but within the last week I had a clerk at Jewel's (late 50's?) and a clerk at Pete's (late 20's?) think half dollars were dollars. Asked why I was overpaying LOL. Explained the situation to them ;0) |

I guess they assume any coin bigger than a quarter must be a dollar. Paul Hey! That sounds like a good money-making scheme. Time to write a book! -- Eric Babula Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA |

Ive noticed it to. If I give a half-dollar for a x.46 cent purchase, I
usually get back 2 quarters and a 5cent. I could make lots of profit, but the honest side of me corrects them. Most of the time anyway. One time I was given back a canadian quarter in change, and kept it, since it was worthless anyway (in the US of course) |

Im going to spend that ******* before it comes to annoy me again. Probably in a transaction involving a half, so that the cashier is too busy focusing on kennedy to notice the queen. |
