You could get change for the dollar, use $0.75 to buy a condom out of a vending machine, and still have $0.25 left over! What a bargain.

Get a hand job in Mexico.
Give it to charity.

donate it to the homeless beggar in DTLA.
Use it as a coaster. If I don’t have a regular coaster, I don’t mind if my dollar gest moist.
At the price of a phone call they need to rethink that one. Send a cute funnie to a friend using a text message. Buy a pkg of chocolate chip cookies at Mc Donalds. I have more but I dont want to stay around laugthing to hard to read and type.
you can get a dollar from your mom to get a pop at school. and then when you get to school put the dollar in the vending machiene only to tell you that you cnt use that dollar because it has writing all over it saying “Go to http://www.wheresgeorge.com to track this dollar bill” so you put it in the other pop machiene and it works. you buy a lemonade. but somehow your friend get a hold of it and rinks part of it. then someone steals it from her and drinks the rest of it all while you are in the bathroom. when you come out of the bathroom you come to find out that you are thirsty and your friends drank all of your drink that you just bought with your dollar that you wasted and now you cant even track it because you cant rememeber the serial number.
(this is a true story btw. it just happened to me yesterday.)
is that creative enough for you? please comment me back or something and tell me if i won.

But if you brought your own peanut butter and jelly sandwich you are on your way to eating the perfect meal. All for only a dollar (and three cents)
LOTTO!!!

Daniel, I am saddened by the state of my affairs. No one has commented on my site today. I usually wouldn’t care except I actually posted something I spent time on. ;_; And you, of course, are the comment whore of the century.
Anyway, about your post.
I like 16 and 29. You get more hilarious as time goes on, Dan. I could buy my entire dinner (a bag of cheezits) for a dollar! Yay poor college students!
Or, better yet, I’d ask 100 people for a dollar, then I’d have 100 dollars.

buy something from the dollar menu?
buy 10 notebooks. fill them all by writing the great american novel. make millions.
Frame it, hang it on a wall in a prominent place and insist that there is a story behind it. If you like to make money, tell people that, for a dollar, you would gladly tell them the story. Everytime you tell that story, change it to be more interesting. If somebody says, “Well, that’s not how I heard it …”, then you could kindly reply, “I told you the one dollar version. That was the two dollar version. If you would like to hear the three dollar version …” If you don’t like to make a dollar off of a dollar, then you could probably make a paper airplane.
use it as a book mark
fold it into cool designs – for example, a very very cheap (but completely replaceable!) engagement ring

you can A) buy a chocolate chip cookie at Subway or B) buy a faulty mood ring at Dollar Tree. I pick the cookie.

I know a guy…who knows a guy.
lol
Seriously I can make a mean bow tie or even a ring…origami.
In Australia you could take it to McDonalds and buy two soft serve cones.
That’s a good idea for a first date, according to my son.
shalom!
book mark…..?
Get you a federal offense by tearing it up and defacing it in front of someone who cares.
Get 4 quarters and wash a load of laundry and then air dry them in my dorm.

Floss your teeth (I’ve seen this) OR KFC Snackers!
If you use cingular, you could send ten text messages and hope your friends don’t reply or you could send five and wait for the replies.
