At the train station today I saw the ticket agent deliberately crumpling up dollar bills into balls. I asked him why. He said that brand-new dollar bills keep sticking together. But If he crumpled a new bill, flattened it out, and then stacked it on top of a smooth bill, and so on, always alternating crumpled with the smooth, he could make change much more easily. (He had learned the trick by watching someone else do it.) it probably makes the job slightly less boring, too.
