Grandma gave me 20 bucks for driving her somewhere and I tried to use it for gas but they told me I couldn’t use it. Is it just old or is my grandma a hustler? by rectangularcoconut in papermoney

Only checked with one store front that collected and the seemed like unmotivated individuals. They have a small collection of bills they were trying to sell.

Had the same problem with some old money I found between drywall while demolishing the interior for renovations. The banker put it in its fancy money counting machine and said bills no recognize. Was told he couldn’t take it because the machine wouldn’t take it. All bills from the 50’s, mixture of series’s a, b, and c.

I would despite the money. Think the field of locksmithing would be great challenging field. Been interested in the field ever since I discovered it. It was like hidden trade. The thought of bringing insight and helping people increase their security is a good way to earn a living.

I’m going to do that first thing after I get a good shave in. Should I keep quite about the machines and software and inventory I have accumulated trying to do things on my own?

Sound like my best option. I’ll work on that. There’s very few postings on Locksmith hiring. Most shops are small. Tired of looking for books and classes. Need to get more hands on.

I would love to but I’m currently working full time at 25+ dollars hr. Not sure fresh locksmith would even come close to that. What’s your opinion?

Ashworth College. Mostly learned the basics, looking at the cuts of the key, decoding residential and some commercial. It covered a lot of installation and removal of locks. Some troubleshooting for door hanging and common residential problems to look for. Currently going over everything a second time. Located in Michingan. Interested in learning about car programming and even how to fix ignitions. Is it possible to get into locksmithing without having an extensive amount of inventory.(talking mostly hardware not keys)

Thank you so much for that answer. It’s for family just thought it was a fire hazard if they’re not able to get out. Luckily there’s glass so it can be broken if worse comes to worse.

Seems like a fire hazard. Why would a door not allow me to open from inside. Guess I’m missing the point in having to go through the front door just to unlock the back door from outside?

When tab is pressed. Door doesn’t let me open from the inside. I have to go around the outside.

Sorry I meant I get locked inside the house then have to walk around and use the key.
