[pct-l] Money

[wandering_bob at comcast.net (Bob Bankhead)]

Big bills have been known to be refused in small stores because (1) they
can't make change or (2) they're leary of counterfeits from people they
don't know.

I always carry five $20 bills. Never had them refused. I also carry my
credit card, phone card, and $300 in Travellers' checks. The whole thing
weighs 2 ounces at most in its ziplock bag.

Something college students learn early on that hikers often forget -
QUARTERS ARE WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD.  Try running a washer , a
campground shower, or a pay phone on paper money or plastic - it just don't
work!

With all the latest chatter about pack weight and multi-purpose uses (poles
in bike spokes?!),
I'm surprised that no one has touched on the fact that a $100 bill is
lightweight, extremely packable, water resistant, and of course, accepted
most anywhere!
So the answer, it would seem, would be to carry a Debit card (issued by Visa
or Master) and a $100 bill....
