People who work real jobs in real factories, real offices, real places of employment KNOW intimately what those coins are for ~ that's how you get lunch or a snack or a soft drink without leaving work, driving half an hour to a restaurant, and then coming back late.
Automated vending equipment supplies billions of dollars worth of food and sustenance to tens of millions of American working men and women every day.
The Leftwingtards running NPR wouldn't recognize them if they ran over them with their Ferraris.
Many vending machines (e.g., the ones where I work) won’t accept the dollar coins.
...A joint inquiry by NPR's Planet Money and Investigations teams found that the coins are the wasteful byproducts of a third, failed congressional effort to get Americans to use one-dollar coins in everyday commerce.......this is the point where I interrupt to say, be fruitful and multiply -- but not in those words.
Some even take $5 bills...
