Let's see: I've been through the garden and stood in front of the castle but can't get in; can't get in the fortress or the tower; been up and down the volcano but haven't done anything; gotten past the wood sprite to the man, but he won't tell me anything.

the dollor bill comes much later in the game. to find fishing poll go west of the store and then south. when you have accomplished that and done what you could with the pole you will then have the necessary items to get the magic stone and the password for the tower. have you found the gold coin in the garden?
