For what it’s worth today vs the cost to print and short life, it’s time to get rid of the dollar bill and go exclusively to dollar coins.
In keeping with the latest government efforts to pay off the national debt, the new currency will be composed of fused sand, mixed with bird sh1t.
Is that why our money smells so bad?
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
LOL!
I am looking forward to a new generation of steel coins and if they rust on you tuff sht
Copper and nickle are soaring and you could melt pennies and nickles and make money
I think it would help if we brought back $500 and $1000 bills. There once was a time when one of those bad boys was enough to buy you a new car, but with inflation it’s not that much.
In fact, $100 bills account for a whopping 75-80% of all paper money produced by the United States.
And I know. You’ll hear the usual excuses about drug dealers and large bills, but I don’t buy that schtick.
No, thank you.
I think counterfeiting would be a major problem if we brought back large denomination bills. Imagine the bulk being reduced by 90%. Terrorists and governments like Iran would have a field day.
Just sold $13 face value of 1964 halves, quarters and dimes for over $300. Gonna dump more of this stuff every week until silver bubble busts.
Let me guess, the new dollar coin will be made out of PVC...
I was thinking of melting down what's left of the GM and Chrysler inventories after they finally go under in 2013.
The US government began counterfeiting silver coins with cheaper replacements in order to fund the Vietnam War with inflation. Our kind masters started counterfeiting pennies a few decades ago ...
as soon as I get an income, I’ll be buying nickels, and holding them until their intrinsic value is 4-5 times their nominal value!
Just as the melt value of ‘real silver’ coins has skyrocketed, the value of ‘real nickels’ may soon start to rise on melt value.
The Chinese are faking boatloads of realistic Morgan dollars and other U.S. silver coins. They’re also faking gold coins. Google it. As much as I’d like to read about a fellow freeper investing in a pickup truck load of nickels, I’d hate to hear they bought a bunch of fake chinese u.s. silver coins.
There is no such thing as a silver bubble.

Removing our motto “In God We Trust” will be the top priority.
coin ping!
They could make them out of the old machine tools from shuttered Midwestern factories.
Should be fairly high quality metal in them.
Too late, that stuff is already in China.
