During the revolution the Continental Congress printed dollar bills, redeemed in Spanish gold dollars( although they didn’t have any, it was a lie ). When they first came out, a paper dollar would pay a soldiers pay for a month. Seven years later after running the presses, the same bill would buy a small loaf of bread.

You're right. We are not the ones.
