I've heard this one with Conterfeit Dollars instead. :P

If you had 10 buckets of money and only one way to tell if they are real or not, why would you care?

Just use the money, damnit!

Wow.. this stumps me (i'll prolly get it tonight)
But I heard one like this before
you have 10 buckets, you split them into 3 grups of 3, and 1 out by itself,
then you weigh 2 grupes, if they are even then take 1 off and put the 3rd ghrupe on, then if those are even then the 1 outside is the one w/ the more weight, if not, then take the one that weighs more, and place 2 of the barrels on the sacle, if they = eacother then the one left out is the heaver one and if they dont then the heaver one is the heaver one :P
but I have no clue how to do it in 1 session
my way takes 2-3

That riddle was already posted and solved here a few weeks ago (but it was with gold coins).

Post the answer.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.
