Created way to send $20 to a friend

Bake it inside a small loaf of bread.

Insert it into a whole fish (bonus points if the fish isn’t cleaned and you manage to push it, rolled up, down the mouth into the stomach). Freeze, then pack with dry ice for shipment.

Tie it to the string of a mylar helium balloon, pack this in a loose-fitting box and tell him to be sure to open it outdoors.

This is AWESOME! I’ll be doing the same for a bet I’ve got coming later this year.

My own suggestion is to shred 20 $1 bills then mail them intermixed with 20 sheets saying GO OKLAHOMA!, also shredded.

As kids, we always wanted to get money in the form of dollar coins.
I think they can still be got from banks if you ask.
They are instant keepsakes, and people don’t part with them quickly. Maybe pass one or two to the barber to watch for a reaction.

Sending it to Santa Claus to get postmarked at North Pole, North Dakota?

I would recommend suspending the $20 in a block of clear polyurethane.

Or cement. :slight_smile:

I would recommend sending 20 $1 checks, and in the subject lines put things like “sexual favors” or “vibrator repairs” or something. However, if you take this suggestion, DO NOT list “hitman services” as one of the subject lines or you may have some explaining to do to the feds.

I’m thinking of something along the lines of…

A rabid monkey with $20 attached to it’s neck… in a spring loaded box.
Can you imagine the look on his face once he pulls the monkey off of it!

:eek: :mad:

Aren’t those worth like 1/20 of a cent or something?
I need to look for a SDMB thread about why coupons have a cash value.

Wow! That’s Awesome! Another friend of mine and I had ‘the fiver’, a five dollar bil that we used for bets. everytime the fiver was bet, the date and outcome was written on the bill.

The lamination’s been done. In this case it was folded into an origami work of art, and forever heat sealed where it coudn’t be undone without undoing the origami.

I like that idea. RKTs don’t weigh much either.

Here you go.

Coupon exchange rates are running counter to the economy’s generally inflationary trend. I remember that the standard was 1/10 of a cent before being lowered to 1/20¢. The currently typical sum is a princely 1/100 of a penny.

Do either of you own a GPS?

How about putting the $20.00 bill in a 35mm film cannister and place it at a set of latitude-longitude coordinates. Then give your friend the coordinates and have him find it with his GPS.

How about a $20 gift certificate to someplace like… Victoria’s Secret, or a bookstore for a religion he doesn’t believe in?

High up in a tree at that set of coordinates.

I could go to the Hard Rock Casino here in Las Vegas, buy him a $20 gaming chip - of course, he would then have to fly to Las Vegas and book a room for at least a night to use the $20 chip.

(The Hard Rock has great chips - with pictures of Jimi Hendrix or Janis Joplin, etc. depending on the value of the chip - not quite sure whose face is on the $20.)

I actually had this printed out, and completed; I ended up going with the foreign currency. He received chinese yen.

For future reference I’d like to know more about this. Is it like origami? Are you incasing into a plastic luggage tag?

Tell me more.

I don’t know how I missed this post. As it turns out, I have as sheet of uncut two dollar bills. I should have sent that to him.
