I’ve got ninety thousand pounds in my pajamas
I’ve got forty thousand French francs in my fridge
I’ve got lost of lovely lira, now the deutsche mark’s getting dearer
And my dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge

There is nothing quite as wonderful as money
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash
Some people say it’s folly but I’d rather have the lolly
With money you can make a splash

There is nothing quite wonderful as money
There is nothing like a newly minted pound
Everyone must hanker for the butchness of a banker
It’s accountancy that makes the world go round

You can keep your Marxist ways
For it’s only just a phase
For it’s money, money, money makes the world go round

I had to look in Ye Olde Paper Dictionæry to find out what some of those words meant.

I don't have as much as the blog author recommends, but I did take out some during 2008 in my own personal "walk" on the bank. I gradually added some more smaller bills to that over the past couple years. And with the 0.01% interest my bank is paying on savings I may have lost dollars of interest over the years.

The one big thing I need to store is water. I have a few gallons, but that won't last long.

Money, which represents the prose of life, and which is hardly spoken of in parlors without an apology, is, in its effects and laws, as beautiful as roses.
