I don't understand why this needed to be said. You're a moron. Go away.

Heh, got a chuckle from this story, even though it sounds a little unbelievable.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I'm kind of surprised how many people this story is new to...

 

[Maluno]

New to me anyway...

I'm sure that has happened.

I've had people not accept 1 dollar coins before "there is no such thing as a dollar coin"

What ever happened the that new dollar coin?

Kind of a failure in that nobody wanted to actually spend them. Not to mention the fact that nobody wants to carry a bunch of those things around.

I remember when I showed up at a post office and had to buy a single stamp. Fvcked if the only thing I had was a 20. God damn thing gave me back 19 of those bastards. This was before I had a car too, and had walked there.

I chinked like a 2 nickle whore all the way home.

LMAO

It was new to me, but I've only been on the Internet 10 years.

Snopes is undecided on this one. But they admit it is very plausible.

And this one is a twist on the Taco Bell story.

Actually, I'm pretty sure I heard that story long before the Best Buy incident.


Its still somewhat bogus though, I've never had a problem paying for something
(fast food or otherwise) with a 2 dollar bill, it just confuses the clerk about where
in the register they are supposed to put it.

You dont read much before you post, do you?


I think I may pick up a few $2 bills at the bank just to see what happens when trying to spend them...

Oh, and the $1 coins? Use them all the time at work in the vending machine. Put in a $5, get 4 of those back out. I think they are ok. Its not like the vending machine can give you 4 $1 bills as change very easily.

I'm not sure why you don't believe this ... I've heard people insist they were right about far dumber things.

Or they snatch them up and keep them, like they are rare or something....

I used to carry one just for this reason. It's funny as hell when you hand it to people and they make a huge deal of it, only to find they are wrong and it is real money.
