Danny Cottrell, a pharmacist in Brewton, Alabama gave $700 to each of his dozen employees.  The catch?  He handed it out in $2 bills.  He asked them to give 15% to a person in need and then spend the rest locally.  Since $2 bills are unusual, the town could see the effect of the money circulating around town.  What a fabulous idea!  Let’s just hope someone doesn’t try to recreate it with Susan B. Anthony dollar coins, or our pockets will be sagging.
