play a record with money!
“The cup of tea on arrival at a country house is a thing which, as a rule, I particularly enjoy. I like the crackling logs, the shaded lights, the scent of buttered toast, the general atmosphere of leisured cosiness.”

Using a $100.00 bill is kind of expensive for a needle. Will a $1.00 bill work just as good? i never thought of that.

That is far from being the worst reproduction of a 78 I have ever heard! It could easily be a respectable table gramophone playing with a soft-tone needle and the doors shut.
The writer Patrick O'Brian, in his 1952 novel Testimonies, describes what must be the ultimate in audio-mechanical economy: playing a record with one's fingernail. Unfortunately I cannot put this to the test, since I could not bear to let my nails grow long enough.
