I’m not someone who goes to strip clubs very much (only went a few times in the United States), but they are a part of male culture around the world. In the United States an eighteenth birthday is often celebrated best with your first visit to the strip club. Now you may ask yourself, “Austria has strip clubs, too. How can dancing naked women/men be different from each country?” Easy. How do you tip your strippers in Austria? 

In the United States you could almost say that the $1 bill was invented for strip clubs. It’s a nearly pointless piece of currency and one that most countries in the world have reduced to a mere coin so as not to take up so much room in one’s wallet. Why do the Americans still resist on getting rid of that annoying piece of cotton? Simple. Strip clubs. You could obviously tip a stripper in any bill, but the $1 is perfect. It’s cheaper than $20, that’s for sure, and it’s easily available in plentiful supply. I once worked at a grocery store and one of my colleagues asked me twice in a day to change a $20 bill out for twenty $1 bills. When he brought me the second $20 bill, I asked him, “Goin to the titty bar?”. Him: “Yea, how’d you know?” I never said he was bright…

Now look at Austria and all of the other Eurozone countries. The smallest bill you have is €5 and at the current exchange rate, that works out to be nearly $8 USD. How can you experiment with all the different ways to tip a stripper if you have to do it in €5 bills? That’s going to be a short night for most people. In the United States the same money would give you so many ways to tip you’d run out of ideas before you ran out of bills. It is financially impossible to make any night of the week into an affordable yet amusing trip to your local gentlemen’s club. 

Sorry chums, but when it comes down to gettin dirrty, America in this respect has got you Europeans beat cold.

Austria - 3 and US - 2 … we’re catching up.
