Dollar coins replacing dollar bills.....how would that affect your clubbing?

  I would buy the paper "dancer dollars" that clubs would print and tip with those.

  If you ever go to a strip club in Mexico it is intesting because all of the lower denominated Pesos are in coins. Most of the people down there do put coins right on the stage and sometimes even drop the coins inside the g string. This could actually be a good thing, the girl would have to open up the g string a little to allow for that coin to be dropped in.....:)

  Let's get rid of the penny and get rid of all those $19.99/car washs, $335.99/gal, 1.99/bunch, 29,999/automobiles, etc.

  Would any of our Canadian members care to comment on this? There is no dollar bill in Canadian currency, so how is tipping on stage handled at Canadian strip clubs?

  There is very little stage tipping in Canadian strip clubs. Joe Canuck and Pierre Bonhomme are not going to put a $5 bill in a garter, and there is thus much more pressure for table dances and lap dances. However, when I go, I take plenty of Yankee dollars, even though they are only worth about 90c Canadian. And I do see people leaving $5 bills on stage after the dancer finishes her set.

  Considering how good the firniture moving business is in Canada (or at least Toronto), I'm gussing that the lack of stage tipping isn't a major issue. I can see eliminating the dollar bill going either way. It could increase the need to give LD and conceivably milage would improve. Or, clubs would print out club dollars, but then the club can force you into tipping $2.

  lol motorhead....good point! In my area we don't typically tip dancers on stage anywhere on their person. The tips are tossed onstage, so whether it be paper or coins makes no difference really.

  It will be called, a hailstorm rain. Before I die or get a 100% deadly cancer I want to threw a gold bar on stage.

  Here's a thought. Those of us who go would need to know where to get those two dollar bills. We would need a sticky, or section on the site listing where to get 2's in various cities, i.e. this bank or that, etc.

  At one of the clubs I go to, whenever you pay the cover, you get a $2 bill in change back, so in theory, you could ask for $2 bills and get a bunch with which to tip, but I'm not sure how well that would go with the dancers. I suspect dancers would begin to carry little purses around which they could carry dollar coins in. I wonder how it would work at one of the clubs I visit regularly, where a number of the dancers have a disinterest in giving private dances, which is weird enough, but then to not get tips anymore.

  Back in the 1960's, when my grandfather was near 80, as a very young lad, I was puzzled that my very tough and macho grandfather (he had been one of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders) I would be puzzled to see him use a coin purse. In retrospect, though, people did carry (real) silver dollars at one time, along with fifty cent pieces when movie admission was less than a dollar and you could get snacks for less than fifty cents. Perhaps coin purses, even for men, will return.

  I think Apple is going to solve the dilemma. I hear they're coming out with a new iphone app. The dancer just scans a barcode on your phone and her tip is taken out of your bank account. The only question is where on her person is she going to discreetly hide the scanner?

  motor, An excellent idea, but expressed improperly. What needs to be done, since dancers like tats so much, they just need a few bar-codes on themselves. Depending on their location, when the customer scans that particular code, money is then transferred to her registered account. As an example, the neck code would be much lower cost than the cooter code!

  I wouldn't worry about it too much. Every effort the government has put on us in the past to use a dollar coin has failed miserably. Those Susan B Anthony dollars didn't fly and neither did those gold Sacagawea dollars. When I was in the UK for two weeks, I got annoyed quickly at their pound currency and it wasn't long before I had heavy pockets. People hate change, literally and figuratively.

  The loonie toss in Alberta SCs is how dancers are tipped on stage in my home province. I have not seen the same practice in SCs in Ontario, Quebec, or British Columbia. Throwing a loonie or toonie across the metre-wide divider between the stage and gyno row at a dancer's gaping vagina really does not turn my crank. The practice is entrenched in Alberta clubs however. The cagey customer in Alberta clubs has been known to go up to the stage after the dancer has picked up all her hard earned loonies and toonies, lay down a fin or sawbuck on the stage, and politely thank the dancer for her performance. Pleasant things may happen after this approach or, ahem, so I have been told.

  @mjxo1: You must get out more!! fin = $5 sawbuck = $10 And in Canada, loonie = $1 coin; toonie = $2 coin

  There is a restaurant/bar i frequent that does not utilize $1 bills at all. TheIr smallest coin is a quarter. They have $ coins and $2 bills and up.. Bartenders like it- fewer bills to count at the end of the shift.. The valets like it... I started getting my change in $2 bills as it was a bit of a novelty to me when they started doing it and bringing them with me to my local sclub... It was kind of funny because the dancers at first thought the $2 weren't real... Frankly, i'm surprised more businesses with tipped employees haven't adopted this practice of $2 bills...
