Total: $14
Tender: A tenner and 4 Good Ones
Response: "Are you sure you want to get rid of these?"
Anti-Coin Ire: 0.0
The woman collecting the green fees was older, and the coins were particularly brilliant (new from the roll). I have found in general that older people seem to be more interested in new US coinage. My grandfather sent me a Sacagawea when they first came out. My great-grandfather put some of his retirement cash into coin proof sets. And when I worked in the movie industry, our elderly usher would come to my register daily to swap a few Bad Ones for the new state quarters. Is it that older people like the feeling of real hard currency? Perhaps it brings back memories of the past, when coins made up a larger percentage of pocket money. Or maybe, like crows, they're attracted to shiny things.
