COOL MONEY

[Golddollar]

No, I didn't keep the cash in the refrigerator. I was out and about yesterday in Hanover when the batteries in my glucometer conked out and I also needed a battery for the garage door opener that I hadn't seen in any of the usual stores. So I went to the local battery store that I figured would have all the betteries I was needing.

The bill came to $12.69. I didn't want to use a credit card for that amount and I didn't want to deplete my regular cash. So I pulled out the Crown Royal bag, slowly and deliberately counted out 6 $2 bills from the dedicated money clip in that bag, and a Golden Dollar. One of the clerks said, "You're bringing out the cool money." Never heard that term before. I'll bet the money I paid for the batteries got traded out.

Randy—if you swap out those batteries, can you run the garage door up and down checking your blood sugar? Or lower your blood sugar by hitting the garage remote?

Over decades of running a cash register in a music shop you can well imagine how many people paid for their purchases with curled up paper currency.

Be honest Randy, that wasn't the reaction you were expecting!

I ate out for lunch the Wednesday before Christmas, the waitress was one that usually waits on me. When I paid the bill, I charged it with the usual tip. Then on top of the bill, I pulled one of Golddollar's tricks, I buried it under a pile of Gold One Dollar coins. As I walked out the door, I heard the squeals of joy!

Talking of cool money, a friend is a collector. He just let me photocopy a 10 Reichsmark from WW2 that was a captured by a GI. This particular note has a note written on it. The following is the inscription "17th Airborne Glider Invasion of Germany Wesel ode & Rhine 24/Mar/1945 194th Glider Inf. C.P"
Then below that is the name of 4 men. They are,
Willis T? Evans
James M Wilson
Johnnie? Mc??????
Baxter O. Simpson
The odd thing about the names is they are all in the same handwriting.

In our families many moves my father in laws one dollar silver certificate that each of his crew members of his B-17 signed upon his completion of 51 missions in the ball turret has been lost. Sad situation.

Hopefully not "ankle sock money." It's only worth half because of the stench.

Sweaty bra money is a thing. A horrible, horrible thing. Cards have faults. But they are not sweaty bra money.

I guess that depends on how one gets the sweaty bra money. I think if it’s a direct withdraw by me it’s ok.

Anybody who's ever been to a strip club has no fear of simple sweaty bra money.

They are all folded long ways down the middle which is better for making hula skirts.

Keep small bills on one side, large bills on the other. Simple!
