I thought money came from banks, that they literally made it in back, lol, and would give it to people who filled out those little slips of paper at the desk or used an ATM. I knew there was some kind of code you'd break to get it... of course this was way, way before I got a checking acct, PIN number (my code! lol!) and a job (my money!) Good times.
