Someone gave me a dollar when I was little, and I sat in the living room playing with it. I asked my ma if it was true that there were four quarters in a dollar, and she told me that I was correct.

I tore the dollar in half and tried to shake the quarters out, as if dollar bills were envelopes for quarters.

I used to think that there was a 'little man' inside cash machines, who counted the money and pushed it out. When a machine was out of order, it was because 'the man was having his dinner, having a sleep'etc

remember the commercials with Phil Rizzuto for "the money store"? I thought it was a store that sold money at bargain prices.

I used to think that the pools was a swimming competition.

that people in shops gave you 'change' if you didn't quite have enough money to pay.

I thought that when you bought things with cash the shop assistant always gave you some back - didn't understand what change (i.e. the difference) was.
