You guys are all losing the plot here. It should have Ronald Reagan on the heads side, and a depiction of the Boston Tea Party on the tails. 🆒 ---

I have several one hundred trillion dollar bills, and they are quite mundane. It should have “E Pluribus Unum” and “In God We Trust” because the law requires it. “The United States of America” and “One Trillion Dollars”. The obverse (front) should have a profile of John Boehner in high relief orange, while the reverse adopts Benjamin Franklin’s idea of the national bird, the wild turkey, in this instance something similar to the bird depicted on a bottle of the whiskey “Wild Turkey”. Instead of stars on the reverse surrounding the turkey, thirteen little tea bags. ---

> [@humanafterall](#): > > In response to the article in the OP, My movie idea would be something like LOTR, only with the One Coin instead of the One Ring. _“Three gold dollars were given to the upper class, wealthiest of all, seven quarters were given to middle class, great learners and crafters in their own right, and nine. Nine pennies were given to the lower class, who above all most desire wealth. Yet all of them were betrayed, for in secret, in the minting presses of the US Treasury, the Dark Lord Obama minted a Master Coin, and into it he poured his malice, his cruelty, and his will to dominate all life.”_ Only problem with this is the financial crisis started in Bush’s terms of office. On the plus side, you didn’t Obammaslam any stupid kindergarden names.
