The Coinage Act of 1792 defines a dollar as a specific weight of silver. Those are Federal Reserve debt notes, regardless of which words they print on the paper.
I'll bet you're sitting there gleefully smug sharing this bit of knowledge with others that likely didn't know such things. You probably get a kick out of displaying this sort of aptitude when the occasion presents itself. It brings a sense of fulfillment putting your nonchalant grandiosity out there to be witnessed. But something is missing, isn't it? Something to really put the icing on the cake for you?
Wanna know what it was?
I like Sacajawea dollars. I like to buy things with them and confuse the minimum wagies. They either think it isn't real or they try to figure out where in the cash register it should go.
Americans don't appreciate how quirky their money culture is, a lot of this weird shit like 2 dollar notes aren't real/dollar coins aren't real/you can still spend a 50+ year old note is alien to most other countries.
All money should be heavy metal coinage, paper notes are gay and paying with plastic is for literal homosexuals.
Don't bother me with (you)s, I'm right
I don't think its economically possible in the smaller denominations. The collector's value will always be higher than the gold content anyway, as long as there's coin collectors and "PM investors". Look at the price on NORFEDs.

2000s Simpsons is funny as frick and nobody gives it a chance cause of millennialgays b***hing that any episode they didn't watch as a kid in the 90s is terrible
I used to work at a turnpike gas station and rather than someone having to drive 10 miles to the nearest bank when we were short on singles, we'd get dollar coins from the turnpike authority. They were almost exclusively reserved for Black folk and the mouthy morons who came in pissed off that they can't read a road sign and ended up on a toll road.
marge is real sexy
You're right, I want to have sex with Marge (especially with her hair down).
More like a Sneedjawea

I took payment in $2 bills as a wagie once. I was seething.

We do have $2 bills but they aren't in wide circulation

I just want to pay people by tossing a sack of coins at them

Sweet, schizo money!
>goldbacks
How are you even supposed to salvage the gold from these?
I don't think its economically possible in the smaller denominations. The collector's value will always be higher than the gold content anyway, as long as there's coin collectors and "PM investors". Look at the price on NORFEDs.
The mint would debase the currency, people would start hording money, and also cause a metal outflow to places like china.
>It's a Sneed dollar. You can trade it in at the frick and suck for a Chuck dollar!
This is such a good line, what year is the episode from?
season 15, so 2004 maybe?
I like my coins to mog lesser denominations.
I miss Phil Hartman
