      I have a friend who works at a bank, and when he was a teller there was a guy who would come in every friday and exchange 500 in dollar coins of varying types, the little brass colored ones here, the silver looking ones, and also 50 cent pieces.

      They didn’t carry that much at any time because nobody really brings them in so they had to start special ordering them for this one guy. Every week.

      No idea what he uses them for, but either he’s got a shitload of them, or he makes it hail at strip clubs.

        Let’s say you want to buy a computer. You could, like a boring person, go to Best Buy and purchase a computer for 800 bucks on a credit card. Or you could dress up like a pirate with 800 gold doubloons in a sack, and slam that shit on the counter during checkout.
