Check out the amazing "educational series" currency from the 19th century.</p>BenGSun, 23 Mar 2008 21:49:17 -0000http://www.consumerismcommentary.com/2008/03/18/new-5-bill-now-in-circulation-is-it-time-to-revalue-the-dollar/#comment-21312562<p>The more worthless the currency, the more attractive the engraving. At the rate that the Federal reserve is throwing the currency "under the bus" I am looking forward to female nudes being featured on the currency. Perhaps Elliot Spitzer's girl, Kristen, could grace the $1000 bill and Scarlet Johanson could appear on the new $5,000- this might slow down the velocity of money and prevent hyperinflation!.</p>HobbsTue, 18 Mar 2008 22:53:05 -0000http://www.consumerismcommentary.com/2008/03/18/new-5-bill-now-in-circulation-is-it-time-to-revalue-the-dollar/#comment-21312561<p>My only experience with revaluation is from when Romania (where I'm from) decided to take off 4 zeros from the end of its money: <a href="http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Romania_redenominates_its_currency" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Romania_redenominates_its_currency">http://en.wikinews.org/wiki...</a></p>AncaTue, 18 Mar 2008 13:09:33 -0000http://www.consumerismcommentary.com/2008/03/18/new-5-bill-now-in-circulation-is-it-time-to-revalue-the-dollar/#comment-21312560<p>I would love to see the dollar bill go away and be replaced with a coin. But unfortunately, the U.S. public sees differently. Except for use as tokens to ride the T into Boston, I hardly ever see dollar coins anywhere.</p>SebTue, 18 Mar 2008 12:28:02 -0000http://www.consumerismcommentary.com/2008/03/18/new-5-bill-now-in-circulation-is-it-time-to-revalue-the-dollar/#comment-21312559<p>90% silver coins are a great way to build up a silver collection. Me, I only have Silver and Gold eagles so far... need to hunt down some old 90% coins one of these days. As for bills, meh. I rarely have more than a handful of bills at a time... any large purchases are made with a credit card. They could make the $5 bills purple and pink for all it matters to me.</p>Llama MoneyTue, 18 Mar 2008 11:52:40 -0000http://www.consumerismcommentary.com/2008/03/18/new-5-bill-now-in-circulation-is-it-time-to-revalue-the-dollar/#comment-21312558<p>Flexo, <br>What coins do you collect? I'm more partial to the pre-64 coins myself.</p>~DawnTue, 18 Mar 2008 11:24:52 -0000
