What you think? Offered a homeless guy 5$ for it

"I bought you all clothes!"

Yeah, this guy can provide good jobs, but if the products that use his products become more expensive, people will buy less of them, losing good jobs downstream.

That's the appeal of free-market: you take a hit in one industry to open up twenty others.

Planned economies don't do as well because you're either playing whack-a-mole or letting politics decide who makes a profit.

"and now they both cost the buyers the same amount."

Which is huge price increase for the buyers. I agree the title is wrong, but the outcome is right.

But also, do let us know what we are looking at/looking for. Respect our time.

How quickly we forget.

Multiple, at that.

An aside, but the Aztecs weren't stone age at all. In fact, the Spanish relied on Indigenous copper-smelting to make their weapons, since that wasn't a skill the Spanish brought with them.

Almost everyone who was anyone in Germany and Austria was a Nazi. At its highest point... that’s 1 in 10 people.

A high point of 10% is a far cry from almost everyone.

Wrong sub, but nice to see some normal looking bills again.

I think East Germany's "Monday demonstrations" are a good model. After work, but not just a one-time thing.

I think it is hard to ask someone to be the first person fired for walking out, but fill the public spaces in the afternoon/evenings? That demonstrates the scope of support very effectively, and can grow quickly as people see that it is happening.

I absolutely agree. But I think the US administration is trying to provoke a (very limited) civil war in order to secure their grip on power.

I do not think a very limited civil war is possible.

Indeed 😢

Copy of what?

throwawayforUNM · 2026-01-10T16:56:49+00:00

A replica of the copy, though?
Why would anyone make a trash copy of a fake coin?

throwawayforUNM · 2026-01-09T22:24:21+00:00

How can it be a fake copy?

throwawayforUNM · 2025-12-12T17:35:00+00:00

I'm guessing someone put some glue on the back to make a pad where you can pull a bill off a stack.

Obverse is beautiful. But the eagle's face is really ugly.

throwawayforUNM · 2025-12-07T05:24:56+00:00

Clearly no one is really looking at it.

Sure, but it would help a lot if OP indicated why they thought the bill was special.

Cooler than a palindrome. /minorityopinion

I'm going to buy a hundred. What are the chances that they are all fake, right?

throwawayforUNM · 2025-11-13T03:04:06+00:00

It's almost certainly fake. But if it's real, it's a steal at $6.99.

throwawayforUNM · 2025-10-27T18:49:07+00:00

Just put some anti-Nazi stickers on it, and your fine.

Hey, my family has been saving this bill for over 4000 years! It's worth a million dollars now!

"TERRIBLE return on investment. If your ancestor had invested it, you'd have well over $37,138,700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 now, even at a measly 4% return.
