My favorite money-change ploy (which I hadn't heard yet at the time this topic started) is Fred Kap's rationale for his independently-developed version of Pat Page's Easy Money. Pete Biro has posted it here at the Café.
Why is the money turned back into paper? So the magician doesn't have to walk around with all that cash! The solution is elegant: the most mythic form of the effect is allowed--money from nothing--and there is an entertaining reason for the reset. The most elegant solutions have a harmony of method, effect, and presentation working together with nothing added on like ketchup.

In my presentation, I "buy" a dollar from the spectator, in order to show them how magicians make money. He gives me a dollar, and I give him one of mine. "We're square, right? I just wanted you to see that I can do this with any dollar bill, and not just some trick bill. I can only do this once a day, the energy drain is so severe...but that sure helps my bottom line anyway...By folding it tight and imagining in my mind that I am actually unfolding a $100 bill like THIS one (handing the $100 out for examination, I can actually change the bill into a $100. It is exhausting, though." I say the last line as I take the 100 back and put it away. If someone says, "Why not a thousand dollar bill?" I say, that is a great idea! I'll give it a shot tomorrow. May take a lot more imagination, though..."
