What is the difference between these two?

[Remember remember the 5th of November]

One is a store of something, valuable to some, meh to others. In this case the glass can store water or other liquids. The other is just paper I could use to wipe my but.

Well if you really wanted to know,

Canadian five-dollar note

• 15cm x 7cm of polymer paper
• $.54 worth of EURion constellation dots, tactile marks, registration device, raised printing, and UV printing
• Designed and printed in 2013
• Dominantly blue, features Sir Wilfred Laurier
• Easy to mail, and discouraged by banks
• Inedible, poor/toxic fuel
• Worth about 16 mBTC

Glass

• Beer was added recently
• Could be like $2 I don't know about glass
• Has potential to quench and intoxicate simultaneously with proper contents
• Crystal clear like my financial history
• Difficult to transfer except in person
• Sought after and celebrated with the proper contents
• Can be melted down to make shot glasses

I'll take both

And what might it be reserved for?

[pattu1]

The glass is likely to retain value even after 20 years. 

[(oYo)]

One you get from your bartender/waiter and the other you give to your bartender/waiter.

And what might it be reserved for?

You can reserve one of them to put in a stripper's g-string, the other you cannot.

The difference is clear:

1) The $5 bill is actually worth $5

2) That Canadian pint is not an actual 20 oz Canadian pint.  It is between 12-19.5 ozs, depending where you buy it.

We Canadians are scammed everyday.
