It's and old road gambler's "insurance policy" Have a roll of bills, all singles in your hand as you leave. Throw it when you get jumped, the attacker will leave you alone to get the $20 or so in bills, and you run off. [/ QUOTE ] My Dad used to tell me to do this all the time, makes perfect sense. Though today, I just throw my wallet, and while they are busy going after that, I pull my 9mm and shoot em at least 3 times [God bless Texas and conceal carry [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]] Great post Johnny, keep em coming they are fun!

Re: Metal Money, Money and Gamblers
We were robbed once and Big Ed threw his bankroll behind he refrigerator. Another time, the laws ran in and Curly threw his bankroll, over twenty dimes, in the garbage can. One time Carney Neal was being robbed and he threw his bankroll onto the roof of the house. One time a game was being robbed and Treetop Straus threw all the paper money all around the room and the robbers couldn't pick it all up.
Johnny Moss writes about doing this in his autobiography. You keep your money in rubber bands AKA the gambler's billfold in your front pocket because that is the safest way to protect it.

Apparently a lot of drug smugglers have switched to the Euro, because of the 500 Euro note.

Re: Metal Money, Money and Gamblers
In Canada both the one dollar bill and the two dollar bill were replaced by coins some years ago. Hence the beloved 'Looney' so-called because of it's engraved loon facing and the 'Twoney'. They are cumbersome and heavy in the pockets. Didn't the U.S. Mint attempt to introduce metal dollars years ago to near popular revolt?

the nation in brief George Washington on new dollar coin being introduced today WASHINGTON — George Washington’s birthday celebration will have a golden tinge this year. Millions of new gold-colored dollar coins bearing the first president’s likeness are being introduced in time for the festivities. The question is whether people will reject them as they did the two previous $1 coins. U.S. Mint officials are hoping they have overcome the problems that doomed the Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea dollars. Coin experts are skeptical. The new $1 coins, the first in a series featuring four presidents a year, were to go into circulation today, just before next week’s President’s Day celebrations. Learning from past mistakes, the Mint is making sure the coins will be widely available so people will not be disappointed when they show up at banks looking for the coins. So far the Federal Reserve, the Mint’s distribution agent, has placed orders for 300 million of the Washington coins. Many have already been delivered to commercial banks under orders not to begin selling them to customers until today. “For the vast majority of Americans, they will be able to get the new dollar coin on the day that we issue it,” Mint Director Edmund C. Moy said in an interview with The
