(forgotten) emergency funds from the early 80s in case someone was stranded out on the road, recently found when doing a repair



the 50 is from 1969, the 100 is from 1981


I've advised everyone for decades to have at least 20 in cash in their commuter, though, considering inflation and the price of gas, make it a 100 now, so if you need it, you can fill the tank, and grab a meal, or pay someone to tow you, drive you to the tire shop to fix a flat, or whatever it takes to get your day back on track. But make it cash, small bills, because you might just need to hit your cash stash for a coffee, parking meter, or whatever when an ATM is no where around, and you won't find many cash register operators happy when you give them a 100 dollar bill for a purchase of less than 20
