More Monopoly money is printed each year than actually currency. The U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing rolls out about $975 million in new bills each year, mostly to replace old ones that have worn out. But Parker Brothers - the company that makes the popular board game - print about $30 billion a year.
The average paper currency can be folded roughly 4,000 times before it tears down the middle and gets sent to the shredder. And surprisingly, it doesn’t take long for that to happen. The average lifespan of a dollar bill is only 22 months.
There actually is a $10,000 bill. They’re not printed anymore; the largest denomination printed these days is the $100 bill. But 500, 1,000, 5,000 and 10,000 dollar notes were printed until 1969 when they were discontinued for lack of use.
A $2 bill is actually worth two dollars! Here’s where some folks get confused. They’re not what you’d call rare, but since they’re less common than other denominations in circulation people sometimes think they’re collectible.
I have a friend here in The Villages who only spends two dollar bills.
Every month he gets one or two thousand bucks in twos from his bank.
Bartenders hate him for it.

This portable tire inflator is marked down to
$ 18.98 and you can keep in the glove box.
That's almost half price!

Take a good look at the monopoly money and the dollars in your pocket. They not only resemble each other, they have the same inherent value. Now is a good time to be out of dollars and into real assets. Silver alone is close to a 50 year high.
ResponderEliminarPlenty of people spending the $2 bill, have been accused of counterfeiting.
ResponderEliminarI get the as change at the strip club. So the tip with be two instead of one dollar as the girl comes by.
EliminarI think it is funny and clever, not a rip off. TJ RULES! Hamilton was a big government guy. F Hamilton!
The $2 bill spenders think they are being really funny. But no they are not. Just being annoying.
EliminarDo a search for " monopoly money versus US currency." Look at the colors used on OUR bills versus theirs. It's like a giant middle finger pointed at all of us from the US Treasury.
ResponderEliminarA friend who inherited his fathers safe full of cash in the form of old silver certificates gets challenged almost every time he uses one to make a purchase. Most younger people don't know what a silver certificate is and the currency test pen does not work on old bills so they think it is counterfeit.
