Today, while at the vending machine, I put in my $20 instead of my $1. I got my change back in quarters. FML

Today, I decided to be a generous guy and slip a dollar from my pocket to a beggar. Turns out I'd slipped my hard-earned $100 bill instead. FML

That's how I roll
Today, a buttmunch customer brought in $7 worth of pennies I had to count and roll. As I was putting them in the deposite box at the end of my shift, I fumbled and dropped the rolls. All but one broke, spilling their contents on the floor. FML

Today, I had to pay my bus fare in very small change. After carefully counting out coins under the withering glares of a bus-load of people, I quickly slid them into the machine, and somehow ended up jamming it. FML

Cash grab
Today, I was doing my laundry when I saw a dollar bill at the bottom of the washer. I excitedly dove in to retrieve the money, and promptly hit and broke my nose on the washer. FML

Today, as I was coming out of McDonald's, there was a street musician playing outside. He had his saxophone case open for money. I meant to give him a ten, and it wasn't until I got home later that I realized I'd accidentally given him a hundred-dollar bill. FML

Today, I went to a carnival. While walking around with my cousin, I saw a one hundred dollar bill on the ground. Just before I stepped on it, a man grabbed it. His words? "Don't you just hate it when that happens?" And he walked away. FML

Today, I was playing at a bingo hall, when I got a bingo for $50. I got so excited that I accidentally yelled, "Holy fuck!" They kicked me out. I didn't get the money. FML

Today, I placed $20 in a slot machine at a casino and in a matter of 5 minutes lost it all. My sister then sat at the same machine, put her $20 in and quadrupled her money. FML

You found a quarter machine that accepts a $100 bill? Highest I can find is a $10

How do you not look at the bill before putting it in, knowing you had a hundred dollar bill in you? always double check. Edit: Looks like you'll be making it hail instead of rain.

I was just thinking that!

I am laughing to myself as I imagine 400 quarters come out of a machine.

That's the upside of a currency where the different notes not only differ in size, but each one has a different, bright color.

Highest bill I've ever seen an a quarter machine take is a $20. Did you actually get 400 quarters? I'm most curious as to how you didn't notice the amount beforehand. Did you think it was a $10?

It's not that bad! Go to the bank or a Coin Star machine.

I don't think a bank would appreciate 400 quarters, and coin star takes about 10%, I believe so that would be $10 just to get back to bill form.

Offft. tough break. American Bills are all the same size if i remember correctly. This is why different sized bills would be a good idea.

And different coloured!

It would also help a lot of blind people.

I feel like at least half of all the money-related FML's from the US are due to the fact that all your bills have the same colour.

Yeah in the US all of our bills are green, over the past decade some colour to our bills but not enough to actually make that big of a difference, as the bills are still mostly green.

As someone from the US, I never realized the difference that multiple colors/sizes of bills made until I lived in a foreign country. Now it's so weird to me that US bills look the same (the slight changes in color make no real difference to the bills). It seems counterintuitive to have bills that similar.

I've often wondered how the various bill accepting machines in the US distinguish between the different notes if they are all the same size/color.
