I just got my order for Jackson's this morning...
Per my CC, it was categorized as:
Other - Government Services
Can anyone confirm this is the "correct" categorization and that I'll earn the appropriate points?
I own several car washes in California and plan to start using $1 coins as change for all customers. I anticipate being able to circulate roughly $4000 in coins per month.

What a wonderful way to get these coins circulating. You win and the mint wins.

I got a bunch of the coins in change when I bought a Boston T pass last week. Left them out as a tip for the maid in my hotel room. They sat there untouched for several days.

After thinking about it a bit, I realized I could do some actual good... the coins themselves look pretty amazing, and I think the customer response will be positive.
I wish we'd stop printing paper dollar bills. such an utter waste of resources.

Because of inflation, the Treasury should consider bringing back the $500 bill.

Did you label them as a tip? In my experience, unless there is a tip envelope you put the money in, maids tend to leave money there, afraid that it's a setup, even if you place it on top of said envelope.

Used quite a few in HNL's Chinatown this weekend... there seemed to be some amusement with the gold coins

Anyone not getting the confirmation emails from the mint? Usually I get the emails from them (with the tracking #) the morning that shipment arrives, but I haven't gotten anything lately.

Of course, if we ever did get rid of ALL paper money, we could have $10 and $50 and $20 coins as well, but I'm not advocating that because it would be too radical of a change, for now.
