Sonicrusk Blog

I was at the bank a few weeks ago withdrawing a massive amount of cash prior to my last Las Vegas trip. It was several hundred dollars, and I needed some smaller bills and $1s for tips and such. Anyway, the teller was a trainee, her preceptor sitting on a stool behind her. After receiving my paper cash, I asked if they had any dollar coins.

“Sure,” the teller responded. She proceeded to tell me that she had quite a few actually in rolls of 100. Wow. I asked how many loose coins she had. She had about fifteen and I took ‘em, spend them in various places around Bakersfield and Las Vegas, Nevada. They were the new coins, shiny and lustrous with John Adams on the front.

Now, readers of this blog know I love most things denominated such as stamps and coins. For some reason, my OCD kicked in, and I thought about getting a roll of those 100 $1 coins and chronicling how I spent them here on this blog. So I went to the same bank branch this morning and got some. My memory must be faulty, as they aren’t rolls of 100 but actually rolls of 25. I was thinking of spending them around town to either spread the dollar coin love or as a low-level practical joke on merchants. Maybe I’ll put my mark on them like SR or SB. That way if one ends up in your hands, you’ll know that it came from Sonicrusk’s crazy scheme involving dollar coins. It will also give you a glimpse into how I spend my money as well as make it easier to stalk me.
