    Have you ever seen one of those really big changer machines in
    airports, laundromats or arcades that dispense change when you put in
    your 1 or 5 dollar bill?  Well then, here is an article for you.

    1)  Find the type of change machine that you slide in your bill
    length wise, not the type where you put the bill in a tray and then
    slide the tray in!

    2)  After finding the right machine, get a $1 or $5 bill.  Start
    crumpling it up into a ball.  Then smooth out the bill, now it should
    have a very wrinkly surface.

    3)  Now the hard part.  You must tear a notch in the bill on the left
    side about 1/2 inch below the little 1 dollar symbol (See Figure).

    4)  If you have done all of this right then take the bill and go out
    to the machine.  Put the bill in the machine and wait.  What should
    happen is:  when you put your bill in the machine it thinks
    everything is fine.  When it gets to the part of the bill with the
    notch cut out, the machine will reject the bill and (if you have done
    it right) give you the change at the same time!!! So, you end up
    getting your bill back, plus the change!!  It might take a little
    practice, but once you get the hang of it, you can get a lot of
    money!
