Never really had halves confused for a dollar but within the last
week I had a clerk at Jewel's (late 50's?) and a clerk at Pete's
(late 20's?) think half dollars were dollars. Asked why I was
overpaying LOL. Explained the situation to them ;0)

I often have a clerk try to give me 50¢ back in change when I've spent a
half dollar along with dollar coins for my purchase. I guess they
assume any coin bigger than a quarter must be a dollar.
