Back when I got my first guitar it was a knock off of a Washburn Rx10 payed something like 260 bucks for it some picks and a few feet of cable and a used crate amp. I was doing yard work over the summer for people around my town. Cutting grass pulling weeds watering laws that kinda stuff. I asked everyone to pay me in one dollar bills if they could. Still to this day I tend to save smaller bills easy than tens or twenties. On the day I went to the music store to buy my stuff I walked in with 300 dollars in one dollar bills. In hindsight I should have taken my ones to the bank first for bigger bills. In the end it turned out to be about a 20 minute transaction because the chick at the register kept losing count.
