I ____ a dollar

There was a time when a dollar made a difference in my day. I either used it for bus fare to get to school or to buy some food for the day. In I ____ a dollar, I covertly install 100 1-dollar bills in a public place for people to take. Along with the money, I hang a note inviting people to assess whether they want or need a dollar and to take one if it will make a difference in their day.

I ____ a dollar was first commissioned by the Center for Advanced Hindsight at Duke University and later carried out in DUMBO, NYC plus Greensboro and Raleigh, NC.

Sarina Finkelstein wrote about the project in FREE MONEY! (If You _ _ _ _ It) for Time magazine’s publication Money.com.
