True story ...

About 10 or so years ago, I walked to visit the local microbrewery with a couple neighbors for a burger and a brew.

As a tip, I left a 20% tip. But for the tip I used Susan B Anthony dollar coins.

The wait person looked and initially thought they were quarters (likely why the SBA dollar coins failed). His look changed to a smile as he examined the coins.

Because I pay the plumber (who has been great excellent) via a check.
