the NEW dollar coin...
"RWF" wrote in message ups.com... Yeah but merchants hate them (and $2 bills and hal dollars) since there's no place in the standard cash register drawer for them. I don't mind using them, however they usually wind up in my piggy bank at the end of the day to molder away for months on end. Now if the USA did like Canada and stopped printing $1 bills, the public would use the coins like 'em or not. Where have you worked as a cashier? No place, I guess. 5 slots for bills. 5 slots for coins. You figger it out. ;o) Jonathan_ATC |

I think that we should accept them whole-heartedly. the bills we, the US'ers have are the same size. So what if the dollar coins are slightly larger than the quarter. We have learned to LOOK at our money before we spend it when it's paper money. Let's do the same for coins. I'll get them for a while if the Credit Union has them and use them for tips. |

At any rate, I picked up 10 of the new Washington dollars (all P mint) today at my bank. None better than MS65, usual bag marks and one was already starting to tarnish. The obverse is very ugly. It kind of reminds me of the tokens gas stations used to give out when I was a kid. |

I don't know what they use now, but when I was there the day they introduced the $2 coin (a coincidence) they added a tray to the left-most bill slot to handle the $2s.

A lot of stores - even those with 6-wide registers - put $20 and above under the tray.
Stater Bros. Supermarkets all do that in So. Cal. Most other supermarkets leave the $20 in the $20 slot because they hand them out a lot for "cash back" or change for a C-note. The rolled coin has a compartment under the tray. Putting rolled coin in the tray can jam the drawer and cause problems with c.g. -- """Remove "zorch" from address (2 places) to reply. http://www.sirius.com/ "Paul Anderson" wrote in message news In article , "Michael G.
