An Interesting Dollar Coin/Cashier Story

I got some coffee and snacks at a coffee shop for $4 and some change. I paid with five pres dollars. The cashier said nothing and plopped them in the empty slot in the register. I bit later I went back to get a refill and used another dollar coin. She asked me if I had just come back from the Post Office. "No," I said, "I got them at the bank." "Oh, you can just get them at the bank?" It turns out she buys them out of the till whenever she can, not because she has a jar full them back home but because, and get ready for this, she actually uses them because she prefers them to dollar bills!

We need to start a movement of fellow travelers. We are out there. We must make the dollar coin circulate!

    Woe to the guy that tries to snatch her purse or the would be mugger that gets whacked by it.

    This is very good to hear! Thanks for posting it! image
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
