Yes, so don’t use them as patterns to make your dies.

I miss ol' Henning - a troubled soul, yes, but never a dull moment.

In 1940 an ounce of gold was $35.00. They keep printing money and ‘quantitative easing’ and using other words to mask the fact that they are overspending and monetizing the debt.

Todays gold price is 5,024.11. Apples to apples, he 1940 nickel had the buying power of $7.18 today. Or more to the point they have devalued our currency.

Since 1940, the U.S. dollar has lost approximately
95.7% of its value

The highest denomination available for the general public is still the $100 bill.
And we're still stuck with ATMs not issuing anything higher than a $20 bill.

Just a random rant tied to the loss of value.

Is this where someone inserts a snarky comment about people still using cash?

I don't know since when, but mine has options for $20, $50 and $100.

When giving as gifts, my family shows more appreciation for cash (or at least pretends to).

Went to the ATM today for only the second time since we moved to Portland six months ago. Only had $100 bills in the wallet, needed some $20s.

yup - the universal gift certificate can be useful.

(btw - I was making a snide obscure reference to the most recent ATIA thread where some were complaining about waiting for people to pay with cash (or check) instead of just using a card)

I didn't used to, but then they took the 1000's out of circulation...
