To: Melian; Kalamata

I like Melian’s idea. But I also like the idea of putting him on the $1, which there are the most of. Washington could move to the 20 or 100.

I also like Kalamata’s idea of putting Trump on the new $500. Or maybe $1000.

$100 today is like $1000 not too long ago.

OTOH, if we get inflation under control, and if there is some sort of economic restructuring, maybe we could “re-center” our money so that the price of everything drops by 90%. I.e., gas could be $.30/gal instead of $3.00/gal. (Or better yet 10-20 cents/gal)

Then we wouldn’t need those large denominations.

We used to have $500s and $1000s in circulation. IIRC, they stopped printing them because of the war on drugs. I no longer believe that was the reason. I now believe it was to cripple us financially and control us. Just like the laws about reporting bank deposits over $10K.

Re: dozens of bills. Ha. I withdrew $50 in $1 bills so I could pay cash for small purchases. Didn’t last long.
