I once had to get $500 changed from 5 paper bills to quarters.

I had to find a bank, in a strange city somewhere in America.
It was during my Corporate Circus days.
I thought it was a big deal, in my mind it was going to be issued to me in a chest, guarded by two uniformed meat heads.
I imagined they would walk me the three blocks to the auditorium where they would bow low as I came from behind them presenting the treasure to my Boss.
In reality, the lady looked at me over her glasses and gave it to me in a single cloth bag, then she charged me 99cents!
My pockets were decorative, they couldn't hold anything.
So I didn't just return unescorted, I had $499 worth of quarters.
Quarters are really important if sno cones and pop corn are 75 cents a box.
