And what percentage of the time do you get each type of
reaction.
I only had a few opportunities to spend my Golden
Dollars
the other day. Twice I had no reaction. Once, in a
supermarket
the cashier had to call her supervisor over to see if she
was
allowed to accept them. The supervisor looked at the
coin,
and told her it was ok.

Today, I obtained several US Golden Dollar coins from a post
office
vending machine. Today and tomorrow I will try using them
and see
what type of reactions I get.
My first test was at an
Eckerd drugstore in Indialantic, FL, where I
used it to pay for a pack
of gum. The cashier, a man in his 20s,
took it, knew it's value
and had no problem or comments. I'll report
back on more attempts
later.
Unfortuntately, I'll be flying back to Canada on Sunday and I
won't have
much time to attempt many more
experiments.

When I use them I hand
them over with no comment, since these are legal U.S. tender and there doesn't
need to be any comment using U.S. tender. I get one of three reactions
from the cashier.
1. None (the desired reaction).
2.
"Oh, it's one of those."
3. "What is
this?"
