-Fifty $2bills
- Rubber cement
- (x3) 0.08" x 2.61" x 6.19" chipboards
- 2 to 3 quick release clamps (binder clips also work)
I thought of doing this with $100's. (That's $5000!)
walk into the high limits area BlackJack table, and bet $100 cash by peeling off a bill. Watch everyone's expression.
or TEN 100's and Forty 1's underneath.
Stop when you lose $900.

...why two-dollar? I can see why such a pad of one-dollar bills would be useful, but $2 just seems random.
The trick to poker is learning not to beat yourself up for your mistakes too much, and certainly not too little, but just the right amount.

I use $2s for tips in Las Vegas and AC. The waitress remembers the person who gave her a $2 either in a good way or a bad way but she remembers! Did you know that the vending machines in the Bellagio (at least about a decade ago) take two dollar bills? It surprised me.
Someday, joor goin' to see the name of Googie Gomez in lights and joor goin' to say to joorself, "Was that her?" and then joor goin' to answer to joorself, "That was her!" But you know somethin' mister? I was always her yuss nobody knows it! - Googie Gomez

There's a special glue called padding compound. A print shop might give you a small jar of it if you ask nicely; works better than rubber cement, is much less sticky, and you can get it in red so it looks more professional. :)

Weird - if I give them a yellow at Foxwoods they usually outright ask me if I want change.

The perforated ones that Woz makes are better. In case you haven't read this story...

Quote: sodawaterThe problem with this is although everything is totally legal, unlike Woz I don't have unlimited financial resources to fight the case if an ignorant LEO arrests me for using a pad of $2 bills.
I have no idea how true the story is. But it's hilarious nonetheless.
The bills are legit, so I wouldn't worry. I don't even think that a public defender could screw that one up. As far as the laser safety inspector ID... I would guess that there is probably some law against providing fake id to a federal agent. The government has no sense of humor...
