Hey, I know you can get $1 bills from the Treasury in pads--can you get $2 that way
too? An old roomie of mine had no end of trouble from people refusing to believe that $1
on a pad could possibly be real. I get funny enough looks passing $2 bills as it
is--what if you rip them off a pad and hand crisp ones across the counter? :) I wonder
if you'd be challenged more often or less...
I like the "tourist dollars" visitation idea a lot...I may have to do that the next
time I hit central PA.
