Actually it's better than that; he buys uncut sheets of bills and pulls various pranks with them. He ends up paying more than $2 per bill, so it's mainly just to weird people out.

He got sheets of 4 perforated and then bound with a gum binding (like a pad of paper). He then whips out the book and pulls a $2 off of the perforation.

He'll carry larger sheets folded up and then cut a bill out with scissors in front of the person he is paying it to. Apparently he got the secret service called on him once.

[edit]

If you want to buy uncut bills you can yourself, but there's about a 50% markup on even the largest sheets:

sheets use to be at cost with free shipping, but the dang card churners killed everything related to this site.

They would buy monsterboxes of coins of various monies on credit cards and turn them back into the bank and pay the bill for perks.

They eventually changed the Merchant category codes to cash advance, and then raised the prices. :-(

At least the url is self descriptive.

Is the government allowed to make money (more than its value) by selling money?
