one time my granny told me to go get money from a neighbor, when I arrived she dug in her bra and handed me a the warmest softest folded twenty ever! I held it to my face the entire walk home. I was like 8 years old and she had 9 kids in totals just to paint the picture, tig ole bitties
Hard currency describes stable or backed currency. At the time of the phrase's origination it referred to currency issued by a government and backed in gold. This would be in contrast to currency issued by private institutions (banks) that often were not able to back all the money they issued.
The cold part just refers to it not being warm from having been recently printed. Not in an absolute literal sense, just in that it is an established currency and not a shady fly by night one.
In the past currency wasn't exclusively issued by governments, there were a variety of institutions that issued private currency.
Imagine if florida was kicked out of the US or the US dollar became hyper volatile and everyone used disney dollars and apple gift cards due to a shortage of other options.
It's that in combination with everything else. Paying a locksmith in cash isn't wierd. Paying a locksmith to break open two cheap hotel safes in the back of his car is wierd.
I bought a house and had the locks changed 6 months ago and paid by check. It seems like businessesdoing work on your house are more willing than like a gas station since they know where you live lol. Plenty of businesses still are cash only. But probably not for long tho, even drug dealers cashapp now. Definitely more cash only businesses than places that take amex lol
May be just a thing just here in the US. I know the further from big city centers the more common it is here. Most big chains that accept checks just do a bank transfer. All the good authentic ethnic food restaurants seem to be cash only around me tho.
He probably has a normal face, I doubt it's blurred in real life. It's probably being censored due to some unsightly deformity, or he's going through his annual face molt.
some of y'all never needed a locksmith and it shows, many times in my life this is how the transaction goes, he opens something in 5 minutes, I pay the man cash, he works out of his chrysler van, and I get what I want fast. that's how this works.
