She said- I hate your money.

I went to the Post office in Front Royal,VA and bought some stamps with Susan B. Anthony gold dollars. I got the best reaction yet. Thanks, Steven 49er and Horse Creek Fur. Plus all the other coin enthusiasts on here.

your first mistake was going to Front Royal

funny though, about the only place I get dollar coins as change is at the post office

Yeah, I hear you .

Whats the backstory?

I brought in a jar of change with sticks of quarters and paid with gold dollars. She wanted my sticks of quarters.

Thats Good!!!!

I get the coin dollars all the time just to confound those minimum wage dip wad's behind the register. Many time they will have to call a manager over to find out if it's OK to take them. LOL

I actually found it a bit sad because it was slow for her. There was basically no line of people waiting. I tried to be friendly and smile but I think it was in vain.

From a logistics point of view, she may not have had a cash slot for coins in the dollar configuration. If you put them in with the quarters, it may throw off the change counting at the end of the day. Giving a 2-dollar bill does the same thing. Governments are not liquor stores —- which tend to take everything!

The government is the one that came out with that goofy money.

My father in law asks if they accept federal reserve notes before paying with cash.

Drop them in the paper dollar spot! What's so hard to understand? Stop printing $1's and dig all those coins out of storage and USE them.

No big deal. If there might be a question just put it under the coin tray.
just

You guys need to start using $2 bills.

$2 bills are fairly easy to get in Charlottesville,VA because it is Thomas Jefferson's hometown.

Too hard to figure out

My wife used to be a credit union teller. They physically did a count at the end of the day. All the bills had to be face up, no turned corners, etc. $2 bills just messed up the drawer counts. Dollar coins messed up the hand counts, too. Don’t know if her place ever went to machine counting as she moved onto a different job and it was many years ago. Financial processing and the like lean towards efficiencies. $2 bills and $1 coins are legal tender but mess up the counts. It’s the “price we pay” in a modern society.

I've noticed this over the last couple years , what happened to 'banknoting' , all the Bills facing the same way , face up. Even money I've received from banks are each other way. It used to be a standard. Easier to count. One way of telling if someone had a job handling cash was the money in their wallet was always 'banknoted' . I still do this.
