This sent me down a rabbit hole wondering why I haven't seen one in so long. This in particular was interesting to me:

The public didn’t want to use these bills, so the Federal Reserve found a way to recover the cost of printing. From World War II until at least the 1980s, you could find sweet old “Tom” getting a workout in Military pay envelopes, USOs, Post Exchanges, commissaries, and wherever you find soldiers.

Because the last time I remember seeing one was as a kid in the 80s at the Army base in Grafenwoehr, Germany - I found it on the floor of the small arcade in the cafeteria there. That was worth 8 video game plays!
