I have a very simple policy of pretending I’m allergic to cash. I hate carrying it anyway, so my policy in the event that I find myself saddled with some old fashioned paper money or coinage, is to give it away to the first person who asks. Whether it is a dollar or 2, or 20 or 200.
I understand this isn’t practical for everyone but it is for me and so it is my policy. I don’t care if you look like you need it, and I actually don’t even care if you do need it. If you’re sitting outside in a Chicago winter to ask for it, and I have it on me, you’re getting it.
