of bills.
I hadn't realized this when I put a twenty in, so now I have like forty lbs of change. If I have to go buy a Calzone for George Steinbrenner, it's gonna be a lil weird; particularly since he's dead.

Vending machines accept 20s?

The ones at my job do. I was loathe to put one in, but it was all I had on me, and I wanted a Coke Zero.

When I buy tickets for the LIRR they do that. I had the same situation I only had a twenty bought my ticket and than had a large amount of change in return

I always have a weird fear that somehow other places won't recognize the Sacagawea dollars as real cash.
"No, it's money I swear!"

With any luck the morally ambiguous guy in a suit flipping a coin over and over trend will be making a big comeback.

If I went to a strip club and attempted to make it rain, there's a chance that someone's getting an eye injury.

Oddly, there was an even mix of Sacagaweas, some Susan B. Anthonys, and a Fillmore, Garfield, and John Quincy Adams.
If I want to start a lesser known presidents coin collection, I'm well on my way.
Dammit, where's mah William Henry Harrison?

One day, the U.S. Mint will realize that dollar coins are only good because they're collectors items and used to made of silver. Then again, they also think the penny is worth making

Put them in a sock, and if you ever get mugged you have a weapon. Glad I could help

I like the dollar coins. They remind me of the gold coins of old. Having a bunch would be like looting a small treasure chest and buying a soda with them you could pretend that you're buying a magic potion. Them you can carry them around in a small pouch and act like the cat is a mythical beast that wants to kill you and take your treasure.

I prefer it over the likely scenario of dollars getting stuck in the machine.

Someone gave me 2 dollar coins to pay for something they bought where I work. Also, when we were buying train tickets to get to NY for Wrestlemania last year, the machine spit out about $15 in dollar coins as change

in my house, the Tooth Fairy pays the kids using dollar coins. That's how my wife and I get rid of them.

I've never seen a vending machine that gives you change in bills.

One day, the U.S. Mint will realize that dollar coins are only good because they're collectors items and used to made of silver. The Dollar coins are cheaper to make than the bills. Though you would think by now they'd realize they aren't going to catch on... especially if singles stay in circulation.

If I have to go buy a Calzone for George Steinbrenner, it's gonna be a lil weird; particularly since he's dead. As a Canadian, my sympathy for you hauling around 78 pounds in change is low. Maybe this story will help. Friend of mine and our co-worker go to this course they need to take. Our co-worker wanted some change for something and decided to use the vending machine to obtain it. He knew he'd get coins, so that's not the issue, he figured he puts a $20 in, he'll get back 9 Twoonies, for his change. He got back $18 in quarters. My friend found it so hilarious he texted me about it right away, so when I saw our co-worker about 20 minutes later I asked, "Got a quarter I can borrow?" He screamed "f***!!! How do you know about that already?!!" and stormed off, still pissed about all his quarters.
