Well, that’s only 1.5 million of the new bills.
Here’s the Web site:
I figured it was paranoia.
First, the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin bombed.
Then, the Sacajawea “golden dollar” coin bombed.
I figured they were just screaming this “new $20 bill” from the rooftops, hoping we wouldn’t, like, begin hoarding gold or lynching politicians, or something.
The only reason the dollar coins bomber was because the treasury didn’t stop printing the dollar bills. With the $20s, why will stop printing the old ones, so it will by default take over. It’s what they should have done if they really wanted the coins to succeed (not that I necessarily agree that they should).
Imagine that, two T. Fergusons living in bloomington (just moved to indy last month). What are the odds?
I assumed the adds were to inform people about the new security features. After all, they don’t do any good if nobody knows what to look for.
The dollar coins have been very, very popular with the Tooth Fairy, I’ve noticed. (Hmpf. And to think I only got quarters. Inflation!)
Quarters?! We only got dimes, and we had to knock out our own teeth with rusty hammers to get them. And the snow! You should have seen the snow! And the uphill walk…
I laughed at this also. If that’s all it takes, I’m going to scrawl my own twenties in crayon. “What’s this?” “Umm… it’s the new twenty, swear to god it really is”. “Oh”
Why stop at twenties?
“What’s this?”
“Would you believe it’s the new one million dollar bill?”
“Oh! Here’s your change, enjoy your new yacht!”
terd,
I just moved to B’ton in June, I guess to fill the void of you leaving.
Of course, the IU football team lays a turd here every Saturday.
