Freakin' out the dudes in the drive-through window is great. I have a few Ikes, all circulated, and I know they are worth a dollar each, but I won't spend them because I know I won't get them back.

The cashier would say, "Eight dollars," and he'd pull out the sheet and a pair of scissors and start cutting. It's an expensive way to be a troublemaker, but I'd love to see some candid-camera video of people doing that. :) about six years ago I took a nice but circulated old-style 20 and put it in a currency sleeve in my folder to save as the new 20s were introduced.
