It’s one of the tricks you use when you’re running low on tricks.
This would be a great example of the Obama legacy - his efforts to cheapen and lessen everything that says USA on it.
Have to also say this though: I almost never carry cash or coin. Not so much as a result of being married with children, just use my debit or credit card for most everything. In fact, it’s quite inconvenient to have to pay cash (a trip to the atm is needed).
Actually, it's counterfeiting.
And since the government has been counterfeiting since 1965, it's really no bigger deal now.
