Actually, the ancient Romans debased their coinage as well. Governments are always trying to put one over on the people.. LOL. You didn't think this was a new idea, did you?
lol. No way! In fact, what got me thinking about this topic was the debasement of Roman coinage. Governments that don't debase their currency are the exception, not the norm. Monetary history is replete with examples. Our zinc penny is just a recent example. But I don't need to tell you all this, HCBTT.  You know your history quite well.  |

I don't have an answer yet, but I know there could be a good punch-line to it.
They all studder when making speeches as a result of an increasing supply, daily. |

How would one define a large stack of $1 bills?

Ok, ok, that's enough dollar abuse. Afterall, we all should cherish the dollar, for which it stands and it is legitimate currency. Even now that a dollar can't even buy a 1/4 gallon of diesel, it still makes good tip papers for your local waitress. However, you do have to use more of them to get to the 15% billing amount.
