You could take them places and exchange them for merchandise and services. Most places take them directly these days. Trivia tidbit: they make them with other numbers too. I have seen people have ones marked $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. Someone even showed me some funny money ( 😃 ) once that said $2. Lots of people collect those coupons these days it seems which I find sad because hardly anyone wants to barter. Instead they feed their obsession of collecting some of every set in the series to show off. I am not sure how you would find someone willing to collect twenty of those at once. However, if you spend a week quietly trading them for things, no one will be the wiser. ---
