It's a long established way of informing a area that group is moving $$ into their coffers.
I'll gladly trade you a more common $20 or two, for 10 or 20 $2 bills.
When C & I were cleaning out her Aunt's house after, Aunt Ginny had passed away. We found a large jar of silver dollars and half-dollars. Doing a quick check, we found they were nothing special. So C & her cousin split the coins.
On the way home, we found we were cash poor at a restaurant. So we paid with the coins. The young clerk clearly didn't believe us that they real money and went in back ask. All we clearly heard "It still spends. Accept it!"
