Ok agree. It makes no sense and is annoying for anyone to be given $2.50 as a tip.

I did the same with silver dollars for a long time,. Gave them as tips eating out but it sucks if your not autistic because everyone is confused/overly excited.

It's worth about $15 but people would think they won the lottery when I gave them a coin. That's why I stopped.

Junk silver is selling at my local coin store for 21x nominal value.

This makes leaving a Franklin half dollar all-the-more rewarding [to an observant recipient]. For reference, a Franklin half dollar is 90% silver. It is also, IMHO, the most-beautifully-surfaced US coin ever produced. It "tings."

It is in my fantasies that I had reason to celebrate a grand-enough "night on the town" as to leave just a single golden buffalo coin as payment [about $2000USD].
