Ever hear of this problem??

[SilverEagleCoins]

I live in the suburbs of Detroit. We have opened three casinos in the city. Today I was waiting in line to cash my chips and this really old man must have gotten some Silver Eagle dollars in his change. He was yelling at the cashier and the manager he was getting ripped off. The cage kept saying that those were real silver dollars and worth more than $1. He kept saying that they were only half dollars and that the casino was trying to take advantage of customers and that he knows the coins are halfs because he used to spend them as a kid.

 

Obviously he meant the Walking Liberty Half and does not realize the design was reintroduced for the Silver Eagle Dollar. The manager finally agreed to take back the Silver Eagles and pay him face value and a few freebie comps.

Yeah, some people have a hard time removing their head from the gift horse's mouth.

Nope, they only give me $50 gold eagles when I cash out. Those casino guys are real nice people. Used them to buy a cheap bridge in Brooklyn.

I guess he was too stupid to turn the coin over and read the words "One Dollar"?

[davefperry]

He must have been a savvy gambler too.

When I go to Biloxi, it's the other way around all the time!!!
