I've never had anyone refuse them, but I generally get either a "huh?" reaction, or a "cool!" reaction. I did get the "can we take these?" response once.

Re: tips, I love using them for tips. On one occassion, I had a passing waitress (not ours) get really excited and tell our waitress how lucky she was when she saw the stack of gold dollars.
