I was staying at a hotel, and a vending machine gave me back Sac dollars. I went to the front desk to buy something from the stand and handed over 4 Sac dollar coins. The young girl stared at the coins with a puzzled look, fliping it back and forth, reading the coin. She says she has to go and talk to her manager. The manager comes out laughing and tells her to ring me up as paying $4 cash.

Try spending a $2 bill at any register manned by someone under the age of 40.

The $2 bill exists to give people the superpower to win arguments with minimum wage retail workers.

I actually had a clerk at a gas station tell me that it "wasn't american money". I love $2 bills tho

Not to be confused with a "sack dollar", which is when I keep money in my underwear.

I've always been told money was incredibly dirty. Now I know why.

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Work retail long enough youll see overweight sweaty people pull money from all kinds of places

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

No, that's also the sac dollar.

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 2 points 2 months ago

Oh, cool. Like a Canadian Loonie, but no longer minted.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

A dollar that you can keep in your (testicular) sac.

Was this in or around DC by any chance? That’s the only place I ever get dollar coins. I think any machine on government property has to accept them, and they seem to be the default change option for all the metro services.

I love getting them because they’re the perfect size for me to do that thing where you walk a coin across your knuckles.

Think i got them at the John Wayne Airport when I used a $5 bill in a vending machine. This was at Anaheim CA at a 4 start hotel I was at for a business trip. Had a similar experience at a Seattle hotel. Most vending machines that take money now will do $1-10 and pump out dollar coins as change.

I've seen them be given as change at microwavable food vending machines.

If only there were devices capable of performing math. This sign is stupid as fuck, and so is whoever made it.

[–] Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah. An abacus is ridiculously cheap nowadays. No reason to not have one.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, that's what the sign's telling you. Glad we all can read.
