And just like one of those books, you can't actually use it as a book any more, because it's been gutted. The original trap would have had a couple of undamaged $20 notes on the top and bottom of the stack, to make it look like a normal bundle of notes; those undamaged twenties would have been removed in order to disarm the trap. So there's no actual intact $20 notes left in this object. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C.
