A dollar bill now is worth what 5 cents would buy in 1913, when the Federal Reserve was created.

Some serious, wow!
Here's a great comment...

I suggest a new coin made of fools gold with busts of Timmay and Benocide on opposite sides.

Embossed around the periphery:

In Greed We Lust.



Good bye America.

>>Coins need to be plastic now. Too expensive to make. Maybe
US Mint should abolish some coins. -vbg-

Naw, plastic is oil based... Too valuable.

Coins need to be made out of cardboard:

1. Recycleable
2. Environmentally friendly
3. Green.
4. Supports the third world (us)
5. Light and easy to carry
6. In emergencies can be used for heat
7. Great packing material
8. Much cheaper to produce
9. Can be used to feed your goats
10. QE friendly
11. Exists in sufficient quantity to be a currency (unlike say precious metals).*
