Salvation Army bucket a Christmas time. Take off the donation from taxes.

Seems strange that a bank won't exchange money, but I live in the South
where the folks are considered 'poor' and I've never had a problem with any
place taking pennies as legal tender.

Now I see signs all over the place that say "Can't take bills larger than
$20." And once when I went to my bank for cash, I wanted $100 bills
(because I was going furniture shopping and cash talks when haggling) and
the largest they'd give me were $20s. I was confused that they didn't have
bills larger than $20s on hand.
