I would love to be as certain about any one thing as one poster on this site is about literally everything they say.

That reminds me of a paper I just saw from my daughterâs assignment for sixth grade. She was asked what makes her embarrassed, and she wrote when she is certain she is right but it turns out she is wrong. Donât think she is going to be a politician.

I just got a $5 bill in the mail. Not a bill like âyou owe us $5â, a bill like cash currency.
Itâs from a reputable public organization providing services to our foster son. The gist of it was, here is $5, if you fill out this survey on the care youâre getting, you will get another $20 sent to you via a gift card.
I suspect this is a way to get people to be motivated to do the survey and believe itâs legit? Still, itâs very bizarre, I didnât think people, let alone organizations, sent cash through the mail. I didnât think you could.
You can. Itâs just not advised since itâs so fungible.

Iâve gotten a $1 or two in the mail from Nielsen asking for my tv and radio habits with the promise for more if I reply.

I have received small denominations of cash via mail once or twice in similar circumstances. Itâs obviously unwise to send a meaningful sum of cash that way.

The months should be in alphabetical order.
Also, get rid of the Julius & Augustus months. Letâs go back to the Latin numbering.
Concurring with @joejam , you can just fill it out (correctly) with jibberish, they will send you more money.
Would still do it today, albeit the $20 was cooler when I was younger.
what do i do with the pennies i have? seems wasteful to toss them. seems like litter to throw them on the ground. seems like a burden to give to a person (even one who needs money). just dump them at the bank that has the change counter (but then i have to carry them physically and likely at a loss for effort to riches).
sigh

we have a coin sorter, empty our pockets every night
Wrap them up and bring to bank when we accumulate, so a penny is no different than any other coin
Wells Fargo got rid of their coin counters a few years ago.
I seem to recall cub foods had one of those machines where it takes 9% off the top.
Back in my day in the little town I grew up in some people would give out money instead of candy at Halloween.
If you drop it outside of my moms house youâll really make her day. Sheâs thrilled just to find a few Pennies at a time. Youâd have to drive to Mankato, though.
Put it on your front doorstep with a sign âneed a penny? Take one! Have a penny? Keep it!â
we used to get boxes to collect for UNICEF

I throw unwanted change in change slot at the self checkout, then tap my card for the rest of my payment.

This got me curious as those machines used to be in a lot more places. There are still a few near me, but the charge is now 12.5% plus a transaction fee (usually 50 cents I think)
