Dollar Dollar Bills Ya'll


It's odd asking a bank teller for $300 in one dollar bills.  They tend to give you an odd look.  It especially doesn't help when the local nudie bar is only a few blocks away.

Of course my reason is far less nefarious; A few of the countries on our itinerary don't require us to exchange currency and actually prefer US dollar bills.  They tend to want crisp, clean bills however those seem harder to come by.  I believe they accept dollars because US currency tends to be more stable than other currencies and there is more security holding on to it.  All I know is that when we get to Vietnam it's like the world's largest dollar store and I can't wait.

I may have to take advantage of having all these bills by throwing them on my bed and swimming in them à la Scrooge McDuck.
