      Don’t feel like an ass about it, it’s rare you’ll get one of these excepting out of an expensive soda machine or snack machine anymore, even if a cashier has these in the register they’d be grabbing the singles out of normalcy.

      Plus given how little cash is used anymore they’re just uncommon. Like the $2 bill, they’re legal tender in circulation but you don’t see them everyday and some folks will go their whole life without seeing them.

        I am really appreciating how kind people are here. This really isn’t Reddit. I haven’t just been told I am wrong; I have been given anecdotal stories. So I was wrong, and I learned, and this is fun.
