One thing that sucks about US currency is that their coins are pretty useless. Generally the largest coin you will find is a quarter (25 cents, for you math majors) and there are so very few things that can be purchased for a quarter.
This leads to another great invention, the majority of the vending machines take $1 and $5 notes. This is good because it means more candy for everyone.
My point today is that a lot of these vending machines ask you to put the cash in with the president’s face pointing upwards. My way of remembering to do this is to imagine I’m sending George Washington into a dark abyss so that he may sacrifice himself to get me some M&M’s. In my mind I think, “Take care of this Mr. Washington!” and I quietly hum Yankee Doodle as I fetch my loot.
