Keep the 50 cent and $1 pieces though. And $2 bills. I LOVE handing those to people who don't realize they are real.
- appleskeptic 3y agoI’ve always been fond of the 50 cent piece too. It’s too bad that the ubiquity of the quarter makes it the only contender for a single-coin system.
- bee_rider 3y agoSome places have free 15 minute parking, which seems like a better setup all-around.
- lb1lf 3y agoFirst time I went to the states (some 20 years ago), for some reason or other my local bank gave me a heap of $2 notes (also some $20 and $50 ones!) when I asked them for a few hundred dollars, just so I wouldn't have to worry about finding an ATM accepting my card at SFO. Didn't realize quite how uncommon they were until I tipped someone a couple of them and they angrily asked me for 'real money'!
- ghaff 3y agoNot that I use much cash but I haven't seen a $2 bill in the wild for a great many years. I could see how someone might be suspicious of them (even if only because they suspected they'd have trouble using them).
