Title: Dollar coins are so useless
Post by: MyNameIsMethodis on November 03, 2008, 10:03:26 PM

Got two today, when I put a $5 into a coin breaking machine, expecting all quarters but the gay ass machine gave me two one dollar coins and quarters. Now I can't even buy a drink because no machines take them. Thanks society.

I used a dollar coin this weekend! I was $1 short, out of bills, and found a dollar coin I'd been saving with all my change, thereby allowing me to buy a minicomic.

support art, carry dollar coins

I wouldn't even blow my nose on a dollar bill

the only thing wrong with dollar coins is we don't have a $5 coin

Yeah that reminds me, when I was in Japan a couple weeks ago, I was blowing through 100- and 500-yen coins like candy. As I said to a friend, "If we really wanted to stimulate our economy, we'd make spending hard currency seem so trivial we don't even notice it."
