When we were coming back once, we went into a grocery store to buy some soda, and my relative paid with a couple of the gold coins. The guy stared at them like they were Canadian Pesos or something. Seeing his brain going into lock-up mode, my relative said "those are dollars", to which he said "oh, okay" and gave us change.As we're leaving, all I could think was that we could have been handing him arcade tokens and he'd not know the difference.We also had Taco Bell give us trouble when the "new" twenty dollar bills came out years ago. They didn't want to accept it.</blockquote>
