Johnny Aardvark's Gravatar Funny that. When I used to work behind a counter, I would buy every two dollar bill that came across, and kept in a box for no good reason. When finally I quit, and had no source of income, it turned out I'd cached over $200 in my two-dollar box, which prooved an unexpected, if eccentric, convenience for buying my morning coffee. Vive la two dollar bill!
