I have a 2 dollar bill also.

Is it worth anything? ( more than two dollars? )

[Gefn]

Hey Darksheare!

We should collect brand new crisp tens before they change the picture to a woman.

[Tax-chick]

Litterbox fail. She went in her diaper at the nursery while I was at Weight Watchers.

[Darksheare]

Dunno.
The 1908 penny wasn’t worth much at the time since it had been damaged.
Somebody had heated it up with a candle for some reason.
*WHY?!*

There are $2’s still in circulation, I get them as change at the bank every now and then.
I should have collected an example of our older green tinted money before they turned it all into that hideous Euro style monopoly money.

[Gefn]

I might be totally wrong, but I remember one summer my folks schlepped the family to FDR’s house and they had some old money in the museum there. I think it was Depression era or before, and it was clear?

I think I have one or two green copper pennies. I remember those. The teacher used them to explain how the Statue of Liberty turned green.

[Darksheare]

The paper used on that money kinda degrades over time, so it becomes translucent.
And brittle.
We started using cloth based “paper” for our money at some point after the depression.
Don’t know precisely when.

[Gefn]

That was a nice museum as museums go. My sister and I liked his car best, and the things that belonged to Fala.

[Gefn]

Oh. No.

Poor momma..

[Tax-chick]

It was the nursery employees that had to deal with it.

Wood pulp paper process didn’t invented until mid nineteenth century. Flax and linen fibers were used in almost all of western civilized countries.

In the mid-sixties archival architectural and engineering drawings were made on very fine woven linen treated with a starch compound. I remember having to use “Pounce”, a fine pumice powder, to roughen the slick surface to provide enough ‘tooth’ to accept pencil lines.

I still have some of my dad’s German technical books with the drafting linen dust covers. After about eighty years the linen, while faded, is in almost new condition while the wood pulp pages are brittle, requiring careful handling.

[ArGee]

I can’t hold onto any money for that long.

I got a $1 bill yesterday and it was spent before it hit my pocket.

[Covenantor]

You asked for squee fest...

[Tax-chick]

LOL!

[Covenantor]

Oops, left you out on my last kitty squee-fest post scroll up a few

[Monkey Face]

That is exactly why I ask for earliest appointment available in the morning. With my hypoglycemia, I can’t go that long without food.

Are they doing a chemical stress test, or a treadmill?

[Monkey Face]

$2 bills are common here, and most banks have them. I used to have one, saying I would never be broke as long as I had it, but I had to spend it. I need to get another one.

[Darksheare]

They are kinda odd to see this way.
Banks and cashiers hate having to deal with them at all.
And don’t even get the dollar coins mixed into the mish mash, the cashiers will berate you for messing them up with “funny quarters”.

[Gefn]

Chemical. I had the first part on Thursday morning, now the second part today.

[Monkey Face]

What an absolutely wonderful thing to have! Do you wear cotton gloves when handling the technical books?

[Gefn]

Thank you for the squeefest.

Yawning babeh made head explode.too dang cute.

Want. Want want, want.
