If someone gave you US$5, what would you do with it?

[AviatorTom]

Several questions lately have asked what you would do with a million dollars, or ten thousand dollars. Here's a simpler question.

Here's the scenario...

A total stranger walks up to you and hands you a United States Five Dollar Bill. with a picture of former US President Abraham Lincoln on it.

What would you do with it?

[Static_In_The_Attic]

If a total stranger walked up to me and handed me a United States Five Dollar Bill with a picture of former US President Abraham Lincoln on it I would kindly say thank you, open up my wallet & hand them $10.00 & tell them to pay it forward.

As for the $5.00 before I take it I would see if they had gloves on because if they had gloves on it’s most likely laced with something. If they didn’t have gloves on I would take the $5.00 bill & take it home & inspect it because it could be worth more than $5.00 or it could be a fake.

As for handing them $10.00 & telling them to pay it forward for all I know it can be a social media experiment & the camera is somewhere around me waiting for me to do the right thing & when I do the person tells me it’s an experiment & they hand me more cash.

can't do much with it anymore. NYC has these street vendors that sell stuff like fruit or chicken for a few dollars, I'd buy that. or save it and give to another.

[sage2021]

$5.00 doesn't buy much anymore.
I would give it to someone in need, add some to it, and maybe they could go to the Dollar store and buy something they needed or wanted.
Then I would give that person a smile 🙂

I'd buy a car then take my family out for a meal with the change.

[AviatorTom]

@purplepoppy What kind of car could you get for US$5, that's about 4 pounds sterling?

[purplepoppy]

I thought it was worth more over here

[DishLady]

Say thank you... probably save it till I found someone in need, you know, "pay it forward" theory.

[strateguy632]

i would say "you need it more than me" and try to give it back. if not accept, add to my own and buy food etc.

[Rami_NL]

I don't see how 5$ can make the difference. I would still have the same expenses lol

[electromagnetic]

Save it and hope inflation means I’ll have $10 cad instead of $7

[andreasderjuengere]

How can a Bill be an Abraham?

What I'd do: give it to someone else, later. ''Our'' own money over here helps me more.

[Dinklex3]

If I have cash I usually give it to someone with a homeless vet sign on the street.

[RebelinSteel]

Look at them as if they are crazy and hand it back

[Razp_Sorbet]

Probably keep it. I don't think you can exchange such small amounts but if I could I would.

[leahzrc]

I would say thanks and spend it on nicotine realistically

[jjj101010]

Not much, I don’t live in the US, maybe put it in a drawer with my other left over currency from holidays

[Wise4myage]

Id buy some sunflower seeds.

[AviatorTom]

@Wise4myage Would you plant them or eat them?

[Wise4myage]

[NathanDavis]

I'd get some Cheetos with it

[jennifer_bloom]

I’d buy some coffee with it.

[Peter_Penetrator]

Buy a thimble full of gasoline.

[Massageman]

Go to Dollar Tree and buy 4 items.
