You’re giving me the price of gold today...that’s NOT the price to mine.

1963...$1.65/hr in an office as a file clerk....in a well established company. I gave up the $1.55 per hour offer as a computer programmer...and I was an 18 year old girl.

Always wondered if I made the right move. As I got older....I knew I did.

Dippity Doo and beer can rollers, my big sister, 1967.

Worst job I ever had was “quality control” in an egg packaging operation. I stood in a phone booth sized burlap enclosure with a conveyor of eggs running through the booth. My job was to watch the eggs on the conveyor as they passed over a 150 watt light underneath. I’d cull out the cracks, embryos and such into a 55 gallon barrel. In the August heat it was almost unbearable.

So many things that need to be fixed in government, and the GOP chooses to put this cr@p forward.

There's plenty of precedent, Wilson was (rather appropriately) on the $100,000 bill. But $250 seems an odd denomination, the old $500 or $1000 bills would be fine.

It gotta be at least a $1000 dollar denomination for Trump’s image to be on it.

You may not be understanding ...why...think more like hyperinflation, we are going to need a new bill. Putting Trump on it is just a distraction...get the Trump fans all excited to accept it without question.

The Administration is moving fast and the dots are looking like they are lining up.

The things we did to make a buck, but we survived. Now robotics do those jobs.

We shouldn’t spend one second on silly vanity projects like this bill. There’s too much real work to be done.

When you’re a kid, you get a job like those we did and you realize that’s not for you. It’s good motivation.

I’ll tell you what was a major blow to American business over the last fifty years, the demise of the youth paper route entrepreneur.

Please make it at least 500, if not 1000. A 250 dollar bill is not much improvement over handling 100’s.

Not many newspapers anymore with the internet, and notice the size? Half as thick as before. Tossing papers was fun until it rained or freezing cold or boiling hot. Some of the customers were jerks, not paying on time, or claiming they didn’t get a paper, etc., but most were pretty nice, those envelopes at Christmas were greatly appreciated.

Why not bring back the $500 note and further honor McKinley?

You can’t do math without the penny. I guess you could arbitrarily round up or down, but it will never add up. As far as a $250 bill, well, that’s just dumb. Also, this could be a jab at Trump as the guy undoubtedly knows only deceased persons can be depicted on currency or stamps.

Having a coin of The Great One doesn’t mean I worship him.

I respect him tremendously...and it’s better than looking up to rock stars or actors :)

He was a good man.

I only worship God.

I’ve not in the past at time.

It didn’t work out well at all

At one point I was doing 220 Sundays with a bicycle. EVERYBODY got the Sunday paper. As a twelve or thirteen year old, I was making more money than I knew what to do with.
