3. $5. The booze bill. No one's ever regretted having a bunch of fives at happy hour, or to tip at an open bar. The five-dollar bill was perhaps more useful in a time before inflation made it so that not a single consumer product costs less than $5, but around here we respect our elders' accomplishments, and their ongoing contributions to society. And not for nothing, $5 is roughly the most you can spend without feeling like you're Actually Spending Money.
Even before I saw it being referenced here as "The Booze Bill", the $5 has always been my favorite because for about the first half of my 15 years of going to the Turkey's Nest you could lay a $5 bill down on the bar for a $3.50 32 oz. Budweiser, happily tip the bartender the rest, and then your third one would be on the house, rinse/lather/repeat.
