They will be saying it's too expensive to make any currency eventually....One step closer to digital control.

That foretold scheme is coming....Get you some 666.

X2. And after the penny announcement the USPS said they were raising stamps to 78 cents???


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Speaking of stamps. Can someone tell me whats the deal with buying forever stamps for less than face value on Ebay? Does the post office not print and sell the stamp?

Those stamps are likely counterfeit. Been millions of them coming in from China. I believe newer stamps glow under uv light. Older stamps don’t and are easy to copy.

It's illegal to melt American coins down, but if you did, you could take them to a scrap yard.

90 centimeter stick just doesn't have the same ring to it, though the whack would be the same.
