No, I'm not saying that because, like PBJ, they don't handle paper money much. I mean it. They really are as dumb as a screen door on a submarine. Not a single ounce of logic in their heads. ::)

"The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority, they show disrespect to their elders.... They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and are tyrants over their teachers."
- Socrates
"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly disrespectful and impatient of restraint"
- Hesiod (8th Century BC)
The more things change . . . ;D

--- Quote ---We have this one weirdo that comes into the Hastings I work at and he ONLY pays in $2's, dollar coins, and fifty cent pieces, none of which we have a proper place in the drawer for, and no listings on our deposit bags for. Giving them out as change only causes people to look at me like I'm the weirdo.....so I make sure to give them to teenagers. Grin

now I know why I always got those Anthony dollar coins as a kid for change. Stop by Taco Bell and they would be like here you go dip ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, take these so I can clean out my drawer. I would be all like “F***K You Mother F***ER!” I can’t even use these to get change for the arcade!

I can remember when my grandmother announced she had an envelope with several thousand dollars worth of American Express traveler's checks she had been hoarding 20+ years.
I just can't believe it wouldn't have gotten more a reaction from the cashiers.
:dunno

It still does if the store does their job.
When my wife was a manager at Target this guy brought in some $100s that were many many decades old. The strange thing is they were perfectly crisp virtually unused.
Long story short, they called a secret service rep to come out and review the bills. They had been sitting in a Brazilian bank for decades. The guy exchanged Brazilian money for American before his trip. As surprised as the agent was to see the money, it all turned out ok in the end.

This happens to tourists a lot. The worst is when the bank in the originating country hands the tourist out of circulation bank notes. You get to your destination and are basically screwed until you can get to a bank and exchange the notes for "current" ones.

I also have a bunch of 0.5 and 1$ coins. Does she accept them too?

From our local radio station. I remember hearing it live. Pretty funny. I have about 20 $2 bills at home. Makes me want to use them.
