[Hieronymus]

This segues nicely into Tale of a Tainted Tenner

Why was the guy happy? Or was it just the irony of the whole thing?

I used to show my students a silver certificate where if you read the note carefully says the U.S. will pay the bearer one dollar in silver on demand. The F.R. Notes promised payment in ‘lawful money’. Back in the primitive times when real money was gold and silver and paper was just the government’s promise to pay in the real stuff.

Reminds me of "The Gift of the Magi".

Thanks.
