Curious minds want....
Nothing and it can cost you a dollar. The only reason to use a dollar bill is if you blow a hole through the casing on the road and don't have anything better to use as a temporary boot. I carry a 3" section of inner tube to use as a tire boot. A hole in the casing part of a tire that is 1 mm or bigger probably needs a tire patch of some kind. A small puncture like from a goathead spine does not.
