Been a long time since I posted here, but even though I'm usually
viewed negativly, I figured I would reveal an idea I had. Me and my
mother and a few other people may try to open a restaurant, where we
promote the circulation of the half dollar coin, the $2 bill, with $2
meals (like Taco Bell supposedly was supposed to do that we never
heard anything of) or pay with a half as one of your coins and get 50
cents off your meal, and small 50 cent sides will be offered. I will
also have vending machines that I am told CEN be modified to take
halves, but it will cost me a few thousand dollars, and if it does not
cost much more, I also want a penny tube added to my machines, even
though I might have to empty the penny tube a lot, or I could just
have a penny bin that the pennies fall into inside the machine. And I
will also use small dollar coins in my vending machines, but I am not
sure if I will put dollar coins in my register tills, since I want
them set up $1, $2, $5, $10, $20/$50/$100 and 1c, 5c, 10c, 25c 50c. I
really have no plans to promote the dollar coin because of the fact
that most people would probably just ask for a $1 bill, however, with
$2 bills and halves, they have no choice, because there is no 50 cent
bill or $2 coin (I know people could ask for two $1 bills over a $2
bill, or two quarters over a half, but thats not as likely since there
are two forms of the $1 denomination) HOWEVER I HAVE been considering
putting ALL $1 bills uunder the $2 bills in the till and putting
dollar coins in the slot for $1 bills so that I could use ALL forms of
coins and currency we have, SO, if anyone can give me a VERY good
reason to try to hand out dollar coins over $1 bills, I WILL consider
it, but as of now, the plan for dollar coins is, only in the vending
machines for making change. So if you think you could come up with a
better reason than "It will save the grovernment millions" or "They
will be cool collectibles" please do tell me, because we all know that
the government will NEVER eliminate the $1 bill, or they would have by
now. Fred Shecter's "Secret Plan" was supposed to begin in 2010, and
it is nearly 2012 and still nothing has happened that he said would
happen about $1 bills being slowly phased out. And my goal is to get
$2 bills and halves circulated again, NOT collected. And if I get
enough $2 bills and halves circulating in my area, that just might
happen.

happen about $1 bills being slowly phased out. And my goal is to get
$2 bills and halves circulated again, NOT collected. And if I get
enough $2 bills and halves circulating in my area, that just might
happen.
And lastly, I have ordered some replicas of the $500, $1,000, $5,000,
$10,000 small sized Federal Reserve notes and the $100,000 Gold
Certificate that I am going to display at my business, with a bit of
history on each bill and telling them and encouraging them how to
write their Congressmen to fight to issue new $200 bills and reissue
the $500 and $1,000 bills, and explain that, by 2020, a $2,000 bill
should be issued, and the $5,000 and $10,000 bills should be reissued
if inflation keeps going the way it does. And the $100,000 Gold
Certificate will just be a display to show the largest banknote ever
printed by the BEP and just a little education on it.
Now if this place takes off, and I also get into real estate, which I
plan on doing IF it takes off, I will probably hire lobbyists for
redesigned halves, $1 and $2 bills, newly issued $200 bills and
reissued $500 and $1,000 bills, possibly in polymer, and I may even
advocate the end of the dollar coin since no one seems to want them,
and the government may need to build extra storage space for them, and
its costing us our tax dollars, which is a huge waste.
But like I said, give me a GOOD reason or TWO to promote the $1 coin
in my new shop, and I WILL consider it.

offer in order to attract all those coin-toting customers? Or is that less
important than having vending machines (in your restaurant??) and promoting
half dollars and $2 bills. Will you refuse service to customers who prefer
to pay with a card? Or people who hand you a $5 bill to pay for some $2
soup and a couple $.50 sides with no understanding about what you're
"promoting"?

I hope the OP has cash to do the whole project without a loan.
Bankers are fairly credulous as a tribe, but when somebody goes
babbling about our current coins, it's obvious to all that they have
several screws loose.
The only U.S. coin that means anything in present circulation is the
quarter-dollar. Cents and nickels are monetary lint, and dimes are
just marginally useful for a handful of things like tollway baskets.

I have to wonder, too, how long it would take for profits to offset the
thousands reportedly required to modify vending machines to accept half
dollars. I wouldn't dare to ponder equipping one to accept pennies.
Wherever Drago lives, there must be lots of folks walking around with
pockets full of pennies, halves and $2 bills if he already is readying a
plan to arrange them in his till. Odd, still no mention of the food part.
I thought that's what restaurants are all about. Not how to pay the bill.

pricing and above all picking the appropriate location for your
specific product.
Down at Cape Girardeau, I remember a restaurant that offered "ALL THE
GRAVY YOU CAN EAT" for 99 cents.
Biscuits were extra, meat in the gravy was extra and coffee was extra
and almost more than you could afford.
It is just possible that utensils were extra too, my memory is not
entirely distinct on that finepoint.
However, I think paper plates were covered in the basic 99 cents.
But the restaurant was very successful for many years. Many folks
ordered just gravy and no utensils. The entree came in large cans
direct from the Gravy Factory, industrial strength..
I suggest that this could be a good route for the OP to try.

you would be rooting for this thing to take off. People will OF COURSE
be allowed to use whatever money they want, but I was just stating
that $2s and halves would be accepted and handed out as needed. I'm
not someone like Fred Shecter who is going to five someone $45 back in
dollar coins and a penny in change for spending $4.99 and paying with
a $50 bill. $2 bills, and halves will be used to fit a bill of if
someone was owed back $2.11 they would get a $2 bill, a dime and a
penny. If they were owed back $.65 the would get a half, a dime and a
nickel. (No offense to Fred Shecter, but I will not be doing much with
the dollar coin, as I have already said, because most people I know of
or hear of, hate them worse than $2 bills and even worse than halves,
despite halves not working in vending and self checkout machines). But
if I get a surge of popularity in the half, and make it the new
largest workhorse coin, I'm sure that the vending and self checkout
industry will be wanting to take on the costs. I know its a long shot
and if it DOES succeed, it will be a hard uphill battle, but that
doesn't mean its impossible. I really do think that all vending and
selfchckouts made after 2011 should be equipt to take halves, and I
talked to one vending guy who said he would have no problem with it,
but he was not the one in charge of that part of the business.
As for the food, we would be serving the usual of any resturant, like
burgers, steaksribs, soups, fries, shakes sodas, breakfast, lunch and
dinner etc. Stuff like that. Too many foods to list, and I can't think
of that all.
But, Bremick, (I take it you are Bruce, correct?) Thank you for your
support. Hopefully, one day, we can have a sucessful half and $2 bill
again some day.
