I've been to a few bars in my time, but have never seen it done, nor done it myself. What is the significance of this act?
Thanks.

Ah that is easy, when you get drunk and kinda bored at a bar the bartender shows you this neat trick of taking a tack, sticking it into the bill, putting a couple of quarters on top and then folding it over and then tossing it onto the ceiling so the dollar bill sticks and the quarters go a flying, pretty soon 10-30 people have done this and the bartender just made an easy tip!
See how foolish we are! That is also when the jack-a-lope appears!~

I saw that in Florida last time I was down there. I think it was at McGuire's Irish Pub. It just seemed like something to make them different, besides the live Irish band. Seemed to be like a bar in New Orleans I went to that had the walls and ceiling covered in business cards. McGuire's had a ton of dollars hanging down stapled to the ceiling and on the walls but I can only guess as to why because I don't remember what they told me the reason was. Whatever their reasoning, it was a good place to eat and drink.

I know at the bar I work at, they did it the first night they opened and still do it sometimes. Its a game, they try to spit the dollar up on the ceiling with a thumbtack.

In our Gold Country bars, the "folding money" is taken down and used to buy Christmas gifts for the towns children.

It's a joke. If you get so drunk that you pass out or end up on your back you would know that when you see the bills you are the wrong way around!

Most bars I know of have people, bands, celebs, athletes, etc. autograph them. Last I knew though where I grew up they are trying to do away with it because it is a fire hassard.

It's usually the first few dollars they made when the first opened. Just like framing it, but they are a little more creative. =]

those bills are up there so when y all get gassed up you try to reach up and get one and you will get a free drink. some places make sure they are well out of reach so you have to get inventive.sure hope this helps and good luck
