The Gold Dollar Question

Am I the only person who feels like a pirate when paying for things with a gold dollar coin? Those things make me feel like I’m in another era when I use them. It almost makes me want to get a bunch from the bank, put them in something like a Crown Royal bag, then spend them somewhere I have no business spending them, like at a strip club.    

I wonder if the dancers would get mad if instead of making it rain with bills, I threw a bunch of gold dollars in the air and made it hail? I mean, sure, it would hurt a little, but money-wise, it’s the same thing. Any current or former strippers, feel free to chime in on this one…

The last time I got some gold dollar coins was at the metro station. I put some money on my smartrip card, but I only had a $20 bill. I wanted to get a few dollars back, but when I did, they came out as gold dollars instead of a bunch of quarters. Some pan handler heard this, and said “Hey man, you got some change you could give me?”

I looked this ashy opportunist in the eye and said “No, I don’t. This ain’t change. These are dollars! I’m not giving you a dollar! Sorry.”

He proceeded to mumble something under his breath while turning around, and I walked off with my pockets going jingle-jangle-jingle thanks to my golden stash. I want to get a treasure chest now, so I can hoard a bunch of these things and guard them with a sword and dagger.

    Excuse me, did you just get change from the SmartTrip machine or are you just happy to see me?

    You have to get an eye patch you must and a parrot on you shoulder and a peg leg. If you don’t get these things then you will not be an official pirate. Oh and would it kill ya to wear a ruffled blouse.

    I went to Orlando recently & had to put my bag in a locker that I thought was free. when I came out of the ride I had to pay & I only had 20s in my stash spot (read: bra) so I had to put in a 20 & got back 16 gold coins…

    I tipped every bartender & server with at least ONE the rest of the trip!

    I was calling them DUBLOONS & talking like a witch/pirate for the rest of the day as they jingled around in my knapsack… lol

    Hahaha, great topic. I’m not a stripper (current or former) but I’d think getting one of those tucked in a g-string might feel cold.
