TIL the US government sells genuine uncut currency sheets, and every note is legal tender (infosec.pub)

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing sells them through the official government website, priced above face value as collectibles. Every note can be cut out and spent. Handing the whole sheet to a cashier is also valid, though they will silently curse you.

Wait, the tiny pocket within the regular pocket that some pants have is for change?

the "coin pocket" on jeans was actually for pocket watches back in the day. When jeans were called "waist overalls".

Good luck cramming a pocket watch into one.
