I bought a $250 pack (minimum purchase) of these coins from the Mint, incented slightly by the $5 in profit I'd make from the credit card transaction, but mostly because I thought it would be fun.
I however have intentionally tried to "put them into circulation", using them to pay for small items at the farmers market, drive-through windows, tips, etc. I've had to explain them a few times, but most people think it's interesting and it makes for a few seconds of friendly conversation. I think I've burned through around half so far.
- encoderer 16y agoI use them all the time for $1 tolls. I expected to have a "this is a quarter, sir" moment but I've used them hundreds of times and never have. Leads me to believe this is commonplace.
- wesgarrison 16y agoI love the golden dollars and I'd be ok with getting rid of paper dollars entirely because coins last a LOT longer. I'm not sure what certain uh, industries, that deal in single bills a lot would do, though.
