Daryl DeVille completed his knighthood at the Nashville meetup by donating $600 in stacks of two-dollar bills. This prompts a host anecdote about receiving a stack of "cocaine bills" from a bank in the past, leading to a refusal to handle large quantities of two-dollar bills.
Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch, Two Dollar Bill Advocacy
A long-time donor, Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia, sent a donation including two-dollar bills and dollar coins. He encourages producers to use these denominations to spark conversations and create a "shortage" at banks, as a way to keep physical cash usage interesting.
A series of "palindrome" donations, such as $50.05 and $71.17, were received from listeners in locations ranging from Okinawa to Switzerland. One donor, Tanya Wayman, also sent a physical two-dollar bill, a rare US currency note. These unique contributions highlight the creative ways the "No Agenda" audience engages with the show's financial support system.
The show concludes with a correction of a misquoted Upton Sinclair line regarding salary and understanding. Final clips touch on climate change, carbon fees, and the use of two-dollar bills before the hosts sign off from Amsterdam.
Drug Residue on Money, Folded Two-Dollar Bills, Plastic Currency
John C. Dvorak shares a story about returning a bundle of two-dollar bills to the bank because they were folded in a way commonly used by drug dealers. The hosts discuss the high percentage of US currency that carries cocaine residue. They compare the paper-based US bills to Canada's new plastic currency, which is more durable but less useful for certain illicit activities.
