A guy who owed me $50 paid me yesterday, with dollar coins. Dick move, IMHO.

Anyway, what would you do with fifty dollar coins? It seems rude to pay a restaurant check with a pile of coins, doesn’t it? A friend in retail tells me that cash registers do not have a place for dollar coins, so they are a pia. Maybe I’ll take them by the bank and get real paper money.

I haven’t had any of these coins before. The have the Statue of Liberty on one side, and Paul McCartney (when did he die?) on the other.:dubious:
