Ouch gives a C-note.
I say a fiver.

First one was $5. The rest have been $2. I think most pay more but I'm cheap and my kid doesn't care. I need more money for soaps you know.
We give a dollar a tooth. I mean the tooth fairy does. We might still have some rolls of dollar coins around the house someplace.
One silver dollar.
When I was little I tried to explain the concept of the Tooth Fairy to my dentist. He wasn't having any of it and sent my parents a bill.
I used to get a nice, crisp Lincoln note for my teeth. Nowadays, the standard is probably a new iDevice of some variety. I'd still go with a $5 though.
That would be pretty cool. Or something like a 2 dollar bill. I used to love those when I was a kid.
My uncle slipped a Tonka truck under my pillow when I was a kid. I wish I still slept so soundly.
Give em a swift kick in the hind end, tell em to shush jabbering about make believe tooth fairies, and eat their portion of dessert.
It was good enough for me, and my therapist says I turned out fine.

OR a Silver Eagle 1 ounce silver dollar coin.
An Ike is a good one too. Or maybe a peace dollar. Then there is a JfK half dollar....or a Walking Liberty quarter. The oldies are goodies and a history lesson to boot.

Well, I do recall that it was a quarter in the early to mid 60's. if that helps.
$5 is reasonable these days.

Is there a Hair Fairy?
So does said Fairy with a penchant for teeth give exchange now or is it ok to use local currency still?
I'd say a Silver Dollar or one of the "New" Sacajawea gold dollars would be kinda cool.
IMO, a Fiver is too much and, it is, a symbolic gesture more than anything.
$2 bill are very cool and unique but I read a story about a girl who tried to use a $2 bill at her school cafeteria and got arrested because the cafeteria worker thought it was counterfeit.
Of course, there is the concept of supply and demand... once she tells her friends, the price may go up.

$1 is more than enough for a 4 year old IMHO.
