Steve Wozniak’s sheets of $2 bills
Steve Wozniak used to carry around perforated sheets of $2 bills which he would use to pay for things in stores, casually ripping a bill off of the sheet. Most stores would refuse to accept them. The joke was that the bills were perfectly legal, despite how odd they seemed. He explained once on his website (accessed via archive.org) how he obtained these sheets: You can purchase $1, $2, and now $5 bills from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving on sheets. The sheets come in sizes of 4, 16, and 32 bills each. I buy such sheets of $2 bills. I carry large sheets, folded in my pocket, and sometimes pull out scissors and cut a few off to pay for something in a store. It's just for comedy, as the $2 bills cost nearly $3 each when purchased on sheets. They cost even more at coin stores. I take the sheets of 4 bills and have a printer, located through friends, gum them into pads, like stationery pads. The printer then perforates them between the bills, so that I can tear a bill or two away. In the video below you can see him showing off one of the perforated sheets.
