Would these be accepted in the US? Like maybe a gas station attendant would think these are fake but also maybe a bank would take them? Never going to have a chance to test that out; just curious-ish.
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.

I’ve accepted these back when I used to tend bar, I always appreciated the dollar coins. I also had a dude who’d only pay in $2 bills.
They’re perfectly normal money that you can use without any issue.
Whelp, feeling like an ass for not knowing this. But I learned a thing today.

Yes, banks take them.
The $1 coins yes. The $0.50 coins no.
