How much money do you think is in a typical fully-stocked ATM? Not that I'm contemplating anything. Just wondering. Also, Any ideas about how to put a false bottom into a duffel bag? Just curious. [Tags: doep puzzle atm] Posted

a) $100,000.
b) Buy two duffel bags. Put one inside the other. If keen, combine hems.

1) $10,000 most days, more on holiday weekends?
2) False ends are easier than false bottoms for duffel bags. Roughly:
Build a bucket shaped cloth bag.
Invert said bag.
Sew open (top) edge of bag to seam allowance of the end. (Leave small opening to stuff chile's into false end. )
Discover that there is almost no way to describe a sewing task in the comments on someone else's blog.
You are asking because you want to bring more chile's into the USA than the customs people will be happy about, right? The duffel bag question has nothing to do with the ATM question, right?

Not much worthwhile, and never mind: one needs to let one's feet through.

Ok, so suppose you had a whole stack of twenties you wanted to turn into a stack of other bills. What would you do?

Oil stock or olive presses.

Sounds like a magician's trick in the making.
Go on stage with a duffelbag full of twenties. Wave the wand and shazam, a few 100 dollar bills are extracted from the hidden base.
Perhaps this is an entertaining gimmick to propose that dollar bills have their denominations printed on within ATMs (saving space)?

I thought bills were printed to order. Now there's a novel one.
