Shorting money

At this point, from her birthday presents and several summer yard sales Gwenchik has about $200 in cash. About a week ago when her grandmother came to pick her up  and realized that she forgot her wallet Gwenchik generously offered the money that she has to grandma.

Gwenchik brings her new wallet that she got for her birthday and pulls out her riches -- $200. However all the dollar bills look weird -- much shorter than normal.
George: What is wrong with the dollar bills?
Gwen: Well, when I took the money from the envelope and transferred it into my new wallet the bills just wouldn't fit, so I cut the sides off. You see how nicely they fit now?

That is genious, i had a wallet that a lot of money wouldnt fit in either, and i wish i had come up with the idea of cutting the sides off the bills to make them fit/

Oh....Sashenka any way to still use those bills? Was she upset when she found that ruined the bills?

Well, George thinks that we can still take it to the bank, though I am not sure. Gwenchik tries to believe in the latter :)
