I used to give my son an amount 10X his age, in 2-dollar bills. One year
we went to the store and he presented his funds to buy a game machine.
"I'm sorry, sir," chirped the young cashier, "we don't take Canadian money."
The manager set her straight.
She's probably an FCC Commissioner now.

Hi Bill,
The $2 bill is, in fact, still a current denomination of US currency,
albeit rarely used. It's introduction was back in the mid-1800s, I
believe. I still have a few of them from many years ago.
But, there was the $3 bill, but that only made it to be funny money.
Best regards,
Ron Pickard

And some of them are voters too!!!
Tonight at the grocery store, $50 back from the POS, and could you
please change this $20 for 2 tens?
I needed $60 and only had $20's and a soon to be $50, since all she
had $50's, no $20's, but did have $10's.
Clerk freaked, and said no way, and that she was not doing that!
Yes she was fresh out of high school.
I guess my expression reminded her of the one about making change for
a $2 bill. (there is no such thing as $2)
So she finally caught on... but the rest of the line went to another lane!
ps. quite like the error in using whom. I'll bet there is not clerk
that can say, or spell, or use "whom"<http://web.ku.edu/%7Eedit/whom.html>
