Once when I was very young, I overheard someone talking about "borrowing $10." It made no sense to me. If you borrow something, then you have to return it, but what was the point of borrowing a ten dollar bill unless you needed to spend it. And once you spent it, how could you give it back. It never occurred to me that you could pay back a debt with a different bill.
