The Safeway outlets in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, have started using a coin dispenser at its stores. Rather than having the clerk count out coins a machine automatically makes the correct change that the customers collects with their groceries at the end of the check-out lane. The clerk still counts out notes for change, however. This could be the reason why Safeway is promoting the 1$ golden dollar in the US. greg ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian J White" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "U.S. Metric Association" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, 2001-03-18 14:26 Subject: [USMA:11691] US One Dollar Coin Use.... > Anyone see this??? > > http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?action=press_release&id=179&formBo > ol=AND&formYear=ALL&group=1 > > > I also feel that for the $1 coin to be really successful, we need to > supplement it with a $2 coin as well. >
