When I was stationed in Germany during the mid-80's, the PX's and anyone on the bases rounded up or down to the nearest nickle. I got used to it and liked it. Also, on American bases overseas, that's where all of the odd currencies like the $2.00 bill, Susan B. Anthony dollar and the sort ended up. Had I kept every new, crisp $2.00 that passed through my fingers over there, I'd be in pretty good shape now. If I had every Susan B. Anthony that I staggered up to a vending machine after drinking some really fine German beer and used as a quarter because they were the same size and I was too hammered to see the difference, I'd also be pretty well off. I don't know what that golden coin dollar looks like so much now, but once a couple of years ago I hit a personless toll booth on an Interstate that had a machine that took coins or bills, my cost was something over $4.00 and all I had was a $20 bill which I inserted and it accepted, then it spit out all golden dollar coins at me in change, some that ended up under my truck with a line of vehicles behind me, so I retrieved what I could and drove off with some lying there. These days when someone tries to hand me a golden dollar as part of my change, I refuse to accept it. Give me bills, give me other coins, but no golden dollar. Right now, I have a $100 bill. I don't care for them much, but if the tab is big enough and change back to me is $20 or under, most people will take them these days. Its when they have to give back more than $20, I notice they don't care much for that.
