Nasty bills

[Dan in MI]

I often laundered money on my paper route in the summer. If i got too hot I would jump in the lake and get right back on my bike. I did get funny looks giving wet change to customers.

I assure ya'll I'm not afraid of germs, just the nastiness of people. Do I want to shake hands with some dude that just took a leak, picked his nose or dump without washing his hands (when possible), no.
Like comment said, they stack neatly.
I have not heard of any logical reason to not dislike crumpled, wet, sock, boob, shoe money.
I'm definitely no neat freak. However, I do enjoy having my cash flat, crisp and easy to stash in my wallet or elsewhere. Just like crisp bills from the bank eh? I bet most of you prefer them over the wadded-up currency.
Be honest. If you sell a firearm, would you prefer nice crisp bills or stripper money?
I would almost bet some of youns are considering grabbing the ole lady's iron just to try it.
Gang, just making them flat is reason enough. Unless you ain't carrying enough cash .

Unless you ain't carrying enough cash .

Carrying enough cash in some places will get you a load of trouble. There are pros out there who are specialists in observing, and preying on those who use over stuffed money clips, heavy wallets, asking to break large bills, etc....one outstanding citizen I once "escorted" for a register cash grab sang like a canary on how he targeted folks..... In this case he knew the register tills would be increased and heavy for the holiday season. He would go store to store and go through each register line and buy a pack of gum, or candy item. When paying, he would look at the monitor. Many monitors would have a "alert" signaling a manager on duty that the excess cash needed to be pulled. When he saw that, he knew that is the one he would grab what he could and book. Some businesses even had a light that turned on to signal a cash pull was needed....talk about throwing a bloody steak to a tiger! That was his, and many other outstanding citizens "MO" in the colder months. Summer time is extremely easy to notice the fat wallets, money clips, money belts and pouches. This guy was wanted but never caught until one of my undercover watched him use each register lane for a purchase of gum. A quick radio call and the doors were posted, he didn't make out of the front vestibule.

I agree that it is a good idea to have a little cash on you for an "emergency". But be smart how you carry it. Predators are watching.....and preying. Cash is their drug.

How often have one of us come upon a great deal on a firearm, or other items for sale that was cash only? I sure have many times. I'm not afraid of carrying 1-2000$ on me at all times. Ever heard "cash talks BS walks"? There are some good deals to be had out there. Try paying for one with plastic.
With cash I cannot over draw. I won't be charged for using plastic and there's no paper trail. Most often "cash on the barrel head" gets a better price.
If someone is worried about their safety carrying cash, I'll pray for you.
