Uncut currency experiment.
Jul. 15th, 2009 05:45 pmI am going to order some uncut currency (that is, poster-sized sheets of bills) and document my experience spending (or trying to spend) them in different ways. A few ideas occur to me, and can be applied in different combinations.
A small 'checkbook' of bills. Perforated and torn out to pay for things, or not perforated and I cut the bills out.
Using larger than 1x1 sheets (that is, more than 1 still attached to each other) of bills.
Any of the above, applied to a transaction where I already have the goods (such as a restaurant meal I have already eaten, or a post-paid utility bill), and thus the other party is required to accept them (they could say no in other situations).
I am also trying to think of a good way to video-record the experience without needing a wingman, maybe a small video camera on a lanyard or hat?
Your thoughts?
