  • Arlo003, on 10/04/2008, -1/+13“Paper money has had the effect in your State that it ever will have, to ruin commerce–oppress the honest, and open the door to every species of fraud and injustice.” - George Washington
  • d0ugfunny, on 10/04/2008, -0/+11Washington told us to refrain from forming allies (as we were an infant nation), and to stay away from political parties (because it would divide the nation.) We should have listened to him, maybe our country would be less corrupted, and politicians would be working for the people and not their own agendas.
  • Denneval, on 10/04/2008, -0/+11The joke and the real dollar... equally as credible.

  • MavRevMatt, on 10/04/2008, -1/+10Because it's really not that funny, interesting, or news-worthy.
  • BulletsforRingo, on 10/04/2008, -3/+11dick.
  • SLP1111, on 10/04/2008, -0/+8Via mark:
    "So what does $700,000,000,000 look like
    Just had a thought about trying to get my head around the huge sums of cash the US want to spend to bailout the economy and so over my morning coffee armed with a BIGBOY calculator I came up with this. If you placed a $1 note end to end, Each Dollar bill measuring 6.4 inches long it would take 9900 of those dollars for every mile. If you then placed 700,000,000,000, dollars end to end it would span a distance of 70,707, 070.7 miles long that's over SEVENTY MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED thousand miles. That's a money line that could rap around the world 2996 times or if you had traveled into space on Aug. 27 2007, Mars was 34.65 million miles away so the line of dollar bills could have reached Mars and back.
    Now that's big cash.."
  • insinuate, on 10/04/2008, -2/+9America! ***** Yeah!
  • inactive, on 10/04/2008, -2/+9@eelwrolyat,

  • joepeg, on 10/04/2008, -1/+7Comin' again to save the *****' day yeah!
  • Eqxy, on 10/04/2008, -0/+6I have to say it's quite refreshing to see someone who knows and appreciates the meaning of this little bit of history. It's amazing to me how many people fail to learn from the lessons that history can teach us.
  • bobbknight, on 10/04/2008, -0/+5The new faces for our money, Curly, Larry, Moe and Shemp.
  • waywardsoulnf, on 10/04/2008, -2/+7Damn economic crisis...Australia was up to about 98c to the US$
  • inactive, on 10/04/2008, -3/+7no its gonna be the Amero

  • bluesz, on 10/04/2008, -3/+7a face palm would've been better
  • groo68, on 10/04/2008, -1/+4no that's not what i meant.
  • n8o8, on 10/04/2008, -0/+3Here is the original letter from the archives that provides some context. Our founders were so brilliant.

  • Radan, on 10/04/2008, -0/+3Er... I think you mean about 10 Norwegian Krone to 1 British Pound. All of Scandinavia got around the same value for their currency (except for Finland that uses Euro), where the Danish Krone is worth most, then the Norwegian Krone, and then the Swedish Krona.

    Also, Norway does use a penny like coin called Øre which is worth 0.01 Krone.
  • inactive, on 10/03/2008, -4/+7Yep! Looks appropriate to me. Poor fella!
  • grillcover, on 10/04/2008, -0/+3digg != reddit.
