Has anyone else run into stores or businesses that refuse to accept these coins? Most places seem to like, or at least accept, them but there have been exceptions.
I had one place refuse to take them and showed me a hand written card from the owner instructing them "Do not accept $1 coins". Not a big deal but I always thought US currency was "good for all debts, public or private".
My guess it is just a PITA for them when they make bank deposits to have a few loose $1 coins.
Frankly I do not think the acceptance and use of these will really take off until the government stops production of $1 bills - like Canada.
