<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLJ, post: 79519, member: 1910&quot;]My experience with Poland, the USSR (which shows you how long ago it was), and Turkey is that you do take small notes.&nbsp; They get things done on the street that wouldn&#039;t get done otherwise.&nbsp; A taxi driver would drive better if you told him there was a one or a five in it for him.&nbsp; I got a Soviet visa stamp in my passport (Which was illegal, technically.&nbsp; It was supposed to be on my visa paperwork only, which they took when I left the country.) by leaving a $1 note in my passport when I flew out of Moscow.&nbsp; And when you consider the exchange rate, the item (be it souvenir or service) gets done cheaper with dollars.&nbsp; In rural Turkey, for example, the &quot;good&quot; pay restrooms (they were all pay toilets) were advertised as &quot;6 for a dollar,&quot; while the &quot;bad&quot; ones were advertised as 1 million TL.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
