Barry,

 BM> That's true: can't take a picture of a dollar bill to make a deposit
 BM> like can with a check!  ...But they have unique serial numbers;
 BM> couldn't shred after deposit acceptance like do with checks??!!

  Years ago, a local radio station had a contest with a $100 bill. The
correct caller would have to guess the serial number in order. They
were told higher or lower, but they only got 1 guess per call. The
caller who correctly had the number, won the money.

  Whenever it's "ratings period" for the radio or TV station, they will
do a contest or promotion to increase listeners or viewers. 

  That way, when the Nielsen (or comparable ratings service) releases 
their data of "market share", the higher number of listeners or viewers
shown, the higher they can charge for advertising and commercials.
