Brett Chamberlain, 44, attempted to pay for his petrol with the £20 coins

I once had some fool at a gas station call the cops on me because I paid for part of my gas with some $2 bills. He was awfully proud of himself that he had busted a guy spending "fake money". The other cashier accepted my $2 bills, and I paid for my gas and left as the other moron was following me out into the parking lot to write down my license plate. I never heard anything about it so I imagine that the police probably laughed at the guy.

My wife sent me to the store for some essentials (milk, bread, eggs etc.) before one of our terrible NC snow falls that was expected. I had just finished rolling some dug quarters and figured I would spend that $20 at the store. Got to the counter and handed the girl the 2 rolls of quarters. She told me that I couldn't pay with rolled coins. I said fine and broke open the rolls and poured the quarters out onto her conveyor belt. Told her to count em up.

To be honest, I have never, ever, seen a £20 coin. They only came into circulation last year, to commemmorate the birth of Prince George. I suspect they will soon be worth more than £20! The George and the Dragon 2013 UK £20 Fine Silver Coin | The Royal Mint

A few years ago I coinroll hunted a bit, I got every kind of reaction you could think of spending fifty cent pieces. Some thought they where getting extremely valuable coins, one girl called her manager to see if they could take old money after I showed her they were dated fom the seventies and eighties. One guy in North Dakota thought they were silver dollars.
