I had this same thing happen to me 20+ years ago by a skinny blonde 18 year old teller in a convenience store in Dunlap Tennessee one morning except it was a $2 bill...the manager had to gently explain it to her.
...as for me, it isn't "what" it's that I am really getting old. The acceleration of change just in my lifetime I believe has helped generations gaps to become wider. The difference between my parent's generation and mine doesn't seem to compare to the gap between mine and my grandchildren's generation
If you live long enough, eventually everything becomes obsolete.

LOL, yeah they are.Half dollar coins are good for that too.
I don't know anyone who, after high school, continued to use cursive.
Kinda like calligraphy!I'm in my 50's and I write cursive. I write cursive or print depending on the circumstances. It's easier and flows more smoothly than printing.
Properly done, cursive writing is beautiful. I have complimented several senior ladies over the years who had exceptional handwriting. Beautiful penmanship, like custom gun making and other master level skills, is, however, quickly becoming a lost art.
It is indeed sad.
I don't know anyone who, after high school, continued to use cursive. It isn't necessary to communicate. All the important historical documents written in longhand have been transferred to block type. Your legally recognized signature can be almost any scribble you like.
Every cash register and smartphone has a sophisticated calculator built in so making change is not a problem.
My grandfather told my dad that he and his generation were doomed to failure. My dad condemned me to the same fate. I have yet to spew that bilge to my children or grandchildren. They are doing fine, thank you.

I'm a GenXer, I work/manage "younger" Boomers all the way to 18 yo GenZers. The differences are crazy!
