Steve Wozniak pays with sticky notes made of money

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

When you're a billionaire tech pioneer, standard sticky notes just don't carry enough arrogant flair. Wozniak literally buys uncut sheets of legal $2 bills directly from the Bureau of Engraving. He then has a local printer bind them into perforated tear-off pads so he can dramatically rip out legal tender to pay for his coffee. It's the most aggressively nerdy flex in personal finance history.
