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.

Uhh, yes. We have wallets. The things coins don’t fit in well and immediately fall out of.

Bills are better than coins, hands down.

I've never had any trouble with coins in any wallet I've used. As in: never had a coin fall out in decades of use

Maybe you’re thinking of a coin purse?

Any time I put coins in a billfold I make it rain like the world’s stingiest pervert.

My wallets always had compartments for bills, coins, cards and IDs
