Circulating dollar coins

A local gas station started giving dollar coins in change. Love the “change” from the norm, I think I’ll start spending some clad halves there too.

That's cool. I hope it turns into a trend.

Yep. People love to get $2 bills, small dollar coins and half dollars. Think that they ate rare. Good thinking on this business to stand out from the rest

I routinely put $2 bills into circulation and I use clad halves at stores, garage sales and flea markets. Some people are pleased to get them while others don't care. A few people actually get confused when I hand them a half dollar

Amazing to think about this. When it happens to me, I just tell them to turn it over and they will see where it says “half dollar.”

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

$2 bills at the strip club. Good business decision.

That's odd, because they tossed me out when I cracked open a roll of Rutherford B. Hayes dollars.
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.
