I pay with coins all the time. This is absolutely awesome i feel bad for the cops mainly. but damn hilarious. | ||

I used to be a milk man and alot of the old folks paid in stamps, they would simply attach them to a piece of paper, i thought it was weird at first but i got used to it... I've even been in to a shop and paid with stamps myself since (it was only something worth like 99p), the woman behind the counter looked at me funny and I said "Its legal tender, you either accept it or I will need to speak to your manager" to which she then got her manager. When he arrived, I said "Your staff member is refusing legal tender" and the manager looked at me, as though trying to decide if I was a nut job, and then told her to take the stamps lol. Its not something I would recommend doing, but unless there is a sign up saying "we do not accept stamps as payment" technically they have to take it. On topic: payment is payment, its rude to not pay..... ;p | ||

I don't think it's too bad if its just less then $15 but it sort of would get extremely annoying for the cashier to be counting your change for $30. I suggest getting them in rolls, you'll look much more professional that way. Keep in mind Canada has a $2 coin. The US goes up to what, quarters? | ||

Silver Dollar is one of the largest coins we have, there is a rumor of the U.S having a 5 dollar coin that used to be minted but no longer can any one confirm that rumor i have a running bet with a friend that it did not exist but have yet to check it out. | ||

In the grand scheme of things, it's a lot better than most of the things I have to put up with daily, but I still think "goddammit" every time someone does. | ||

They're worth quite a bit now, still legal tender too. On topic though: I pay for my lunch in coins everyday. Perfectly fine. I think cashiers like it when you pay in coins, they don't need to give you change (or at least less change). Well to be honest, I guess under a certain amount they like it, cuz then at one point they gotta start counting "a lot." I guess under $20 would be zero problems whatsoever. I cringe more when I have to break a bill to pay for something I can pay in coins though. | ||

Probably because some dude once came in with a bag of the smallest currency to pay for bread in a local shop because he wanted to piss off the owner. | ||
