- JoeAltmaier 7y agoIn San Jose they used to use them for trolley tokens! But that was years ago. The price has probably gone up.
- crazygringo 7y agoYeah what happened to those? A decade ago I remember being surprised that they were becoming a "thing" -- getting them as change, might have been from vending machines too -- but now I realize I haven't seen one in years.
- elgringoloco 7y agoI lived in Ecuador for a while and they use USD as their currency. They have all of the dollar coins.
- kungito 7y agoAs I understood it, it's a cultural thing in USA where they really like the feeling of lots of dollar bills https://youtu.be/gonVHW_X79U https://youtu.be/gonVHW_X79U

- TheAdamist 7y agothe ticket machines for the patco train in NJ to philadelphia still give them as change i believe, although i havent used them in years. Before they added a refillable card, i hated getting a heavy pocket full of golden "pirate money" (sacajawea's or presidential dollar coins) buying a $3 ticket with a $20 bill, if i forgot to bring smaller bills.
