    From a practical standpoint, if the one dollar US paper bill is eliminated in favor of a coin ( along with the US $2 bill, which has almost been eliminated already ), there is no way that coins are going to be used for small denomination tips. Customers simply don't want to carry a pocket full of large heavy coins.

    From a psychological standpoint, dancers potentially being tipped with one dollar coins 'cheapens' the perceived value ... i.e. customers may start to think

    - why not tip using 1/2 dollar or quarter coins instead ???
    - is the dancer really worth tipping with the smallest remaining denomination paper bill ( probably $5 ) ???

    In countries where small denomination paper bills no longer exist ( like Canada, which eliminated paper 1 and 2 dollar bills in 1996 I think ), dancer stage tips have more or less ceased to exist as well. My personal observation has been that, when the minimum value of a Canadian 'paper' bill tip became $5, Canadian club customers quickly came to expect dancers to provide something more 'valuable' than a smile in exchange for that $5. Perhaps some Canadian dancers will elaborate.


    Supposedly this effort to eliminate small denomination paper bills is intended to reduce the gov'ts costs. The new embedded security tape that must be woven into the 'paper', as well as other ink / printing related security measures utilized by new 'paper' bills, has indeed increased the cost to produce them. Thus the gov'ts argument is that switching to coins will save something like $5 billion per year in small denomination bill printing and disposal costs.

    However, some would point out that eliminating small denomination 'paper' bills in favor of coins is really an attempt to further promote the use of 'electronic' money ... which is 100% traceable ... versus cash. After all, if virtually every future cash purchase results in a pocket / purse full of large heavy coins in change, the 'natural' inclination will be to reach for a credit card.

    What this will likely lead to is an increase in "virtual tipping", and funny money tipping. The former already exists on some websites in that club website members can tip a designated dancers in "credits" ( 1 credit = $1) in 1 credit and up. If someone on another continent can tip a dancer from their Ipad, it isn't too much of a stretch for a club website member to do the same thing while sitting stageside ! In some cases, there's a club "rainmaking" machine requiring minimum $50-$100 donation to make it rain. (Often funny money pouring down from open trapdoor in ceiling to the sound of faux recorded "thunder".) I've heard that dancers get paid 50% of virtual tips. Another revenue source for club.

    Likewise, having funny money fill in the gap between defunct $1 bill and neo smallest denomination $5 bill is another revenue source for club. I'd guess that patrons would need to shell out $110 or more per $100 of club funny money, while a dancer would probably get <$90 for every $100 of funny money she exchanged at the end of her shift. Sucks for patron and dancer. This just might lead to a higher motivation for OTC activities/earnings.
    I'm right 96% of the time. I don't sweat the other 5% .......................

    Wow can you imagine someone trying to make it rain with coins?? Pfft guess it's probably good that medical insurance will be provided by some of the clubs now. Sounds like people are going to need it for the long lasting injuries.

    They always come out with new ways to go backwards.

    Being that in Manhattan, we barely get tipped anyways, this won't affect us but all the girls that are in the other boroughs and regions are definitely gonna feel this. Just like in Canada, stage tipping will become almost non-existant.

    It would be really cool if there were like virtual touchpad ATMs that were built into the wall where you could virtually tip girls and swipe your card to pay. Yes this could also be done from an ipad or iphone, but most clubs have a no phone rule due to people taking photos/videos of the dancers (its happened to me before, EWWW!)

    My personal thoughts though, is that the age of the dancing-to-make-good-livable-income is over (unless you travel dance to places where stage work isn't done and rooms are pushed). The era of good stage money is over, so you might as well work in a club that doesn't focus on stage.

    if anything, this will help girls who request tips after dances. lots of guys are either cheap or they genuinely associate strippers with $1 bills so they think a dollar or 2 after a vip is appropriate. it also might help waitress, I see a lot of guys tip $1 on an $18 drink.

    I really don't think so. I just think they aren't going to tip at all. I agree with melonie, "$5 for what??" mentality is gonna kick in hard.

    I have heard stories of girls getting tipped coins on stage in Canada. The men aim for private areas such as vagina or boobs. Idk that seems pretty degrading to me. That's just my opinion though. I don't want to get tipped coins by some drunk douche who thinks its funny to throw with force. I was also told that some men would heat the coins with a lighter before throwing them. WTF that is ridiculous. Again I only heard this from some of my Candian custies so I'm not 100% sure its true. Either way it doesn't sound fun. There i no way I would accept coins.

    There is only one province I know of that does this. Alberta (The BC people will have to weigh in because I've never gone to a strip bar there.) It was horrid personally for me to watch.
