"God Damn Play money!!"
I was paying my phone bill today, as I was leaving the business, a local 'Homeless person" hit me up for change in the parking lot.
I've encountered this asshole numerous times, tells me he has "A Doctors note to beg for money cause I have pizzsical prob-bums and he says I can ask for money, but not allowed to look for a damn job!"
I tell him no as I always do, then he starts mumbling over the assholes who handed him play money instead of real money! And shows me these six Eisenhower dollars in his filthy hands.
"Mothafuckas give me this damn fake money saying its real, asshole!" as he slurred his words, being drunk well before noon. I asked him what he was gonna do with the "Tokens", he said "What are they agin?" I told him "car wash tokens, worth maybe 25 cents each."
The bum bucks up looks at the coins, takes what seems a couple minutes to count to six, "Gimmie three dollas then!" I told him six times 25 is a buck fifty, not three dollars. Without hesitation he accepts the offer, I handed him $1.50 and walk to my car. A few minutes later I see him at a convience store buying a 12 pack of beer, bragging how he conned some dude money for car wash tokens.
Call me an asshole for taking advantage of his drunken stupidity, but jerks like that don't deserve any respect.

No, this guy shills the kind hearted wannafeelgooddeepinsidewhileI helpthevictimsofcapitalism types that infest this town, He gets a fist full of bills, heads to get beer, not uncommon seeing him park himself under a tree, drinking his beer and then back out bumming more money for more beer and cigarettes.
Just out of curiosity about how old is this guy? I'm just at a lose for words honestly. Maybe if he was pretty young he may have never seen one before but to believe they were car wash tokens I'm guessing he can't read either...
Still good find, I have to wonder who gave him to coins in the first place.

Can't say I blame him for wanting the beer today, being as hot as it is, but I have a few of those Presidential dollar coins, the ones the fundy "Christians" went so apeshit about since "they didn't have 'In God We Trust on dem!"
(They do.)
I have a Millard Fillmore, and 2 Richard Nixons.

I see a restaurant that I often go to trying to give them out as change all the time (as the banking system they use only does a coin pick up every few weeks while the bill pick up is every few days)
I say yes from time to time as they are neat little coins. Also got some Susien B's and some half dollar coins in change before too.

To be blunt, the bum likely makes more money than me shaking his cardboard sign daily, just to get drunk and smoke, safe bet he's also getting Government handouts and stipulations.
If he averages 2 12 packs a beer a day and possibly 2 packs of smokes just per day. Some of the other "Homeless" in the area openly admitted making a few hundred a day, I have my pride and not about to pull off that act just to avoid working.

I've seen that as well, Lexus. Cadilacs, Beemers. My favorite is seeing "Homeless" people buying video games at Best Buy for a PS4. The majority of them live in apartments near their begging points. I personally delivered to one "Homeless person" in an apartment near his usual sign shake point.
A reporter who had been assigned the job of reporting on beggars selling pencils near the Stock House, he would leave every morning 'for work' and change into rags. He was only tripped up because his wife thought he was having an affair.
We have beggars here at 410 west & Marbach who live in better homes that we do, and they are not renting.

Wait, you scored one of them in Canuckistan? I hope you hung onto it. I generally hang onto the Canadian silver coins I get as change here and pass them off to another Canadian at a con to take back. Your pennies are widely circulated here and passed off as face value without question.
When the Toonie coin came out in Canada https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe.....ie_-_front.png I was given an Italian coin a lot like it in change.
The Italian one was only about 60 cents CDN instead of 200...
I've kept an eye out but not seen one since.

I remember we vacationed in New York and ate at a Pizza Hut, we paid with a mess of Susan Bs, and the waitress looked at them funny, took them and then gave us back the exact amount we paid in bills. She was convinced that they were two dollar coins and we couldn't change her mind. So we shrugged, took back out twelve bucks and left after getting free pizza.
You are lucky you only have bums to deal with. Over here we have Car Guards. They demand money for looking after your car while you are in the shops even though you don't want them to. If anyone tried to steal your car the so called car guards don't do anything to stop them. They are everywhere, even McDonald's has car guards.
I encountered "kiosk assistants" when I was in San Francisco where you purchase trolly passes. They stand there, tell you what button to push and where to feed your money. Then demand you pay them for their assistance, usually a couple dollars. And if you refuse, they usually spit a fat wet loogie on you.
Locally if I had some street trash try that on me at parking voucher stations, I'd openly laugh at them.

I don't believe I've ever seen any of this kind. Were they even distributed in my part of the country? I know the fairly rare JFK half-dollar, haven't seen one in many years, ditto for the $2 bill from the mid-70s, but never these. Someone just happened to have six of these relics in his pocket change? Sounds like a stretch.
Damn, you got some clever bums in the midwest. Out here on the East Coast, they all yak it up on their top-of-the-line, latest-model iPhones, then when they spot a mark who has an actual job, the phone vanishes as they shuffle over and simper, "Suh, kin I axe yew a question?"
Free Enterprise, if he is so foolish as to not be able to READ ENGLISH then the metal 'tokens' are worth exactly what he decides. He decided they were worth $0.25 each while you decided that they were worth $6. In short, the difference between his mind and yours is $4.50.
