Sounds like it's been bleached in some way. I doubt it was an intentional alteration to fool anyone; most likely, the bill just got accidentally...
There is no U.S. currency dated 2008. You probably have a 2003 or 2006 or 2009 with a bit of ink bleed on the date. You can verify the date by...
If the USNs magically retained their full value despite an order-of-magnitude oversupply (or more), then yes, all of that could happen. Of...
That was exactly my point. Once the investors spend their USNs to buy other investments, where do all those USNs go? They go to the gold miners...
But the Fed doesn't do exactly the same thing. It can't, really, because it doesn't have anything to spend all that money on. Congress routinely...
As I pointed out above, that's exactly why your plan doesn't work. Ask yourself the question: Why do these "holders of the debt" choose to hold...
On (1), I completely agree with you. We'd be better off if we weren't using billions of our tax dollars to pay interest to China et al., and we...
Okay, I'm finally starting to see what you mean by "debt" and "not debt". You're using these words in a way that doesn't agree with the...
The debt is the money, and the money is the debt. If money is being created, somebody's going into debt. The only way around this, again, is to...
Well, I still can't get past it.... :) The only reason the government needs to go into debt is that it spends more than it takes in in tax...
You're contradicting yourself here. You say that most Treasury debt is owned by somebody other than the Fed. But you say that if we had no Fed,...
But the total amount of FRNs in existence is a bit under $1T. So the vast majority of that $14T GDP, and that $20T floating around offshore, must...
Answering the last bit first: I'm not denying anybody the right to change the system. We the people (acting through Congress) created the system,...
Either I'm not following your point, or your terminology makes no sense. You're proposing a hypothetical currency that wouldn't be redeemable....
I don't know much about Greece et al., but I wanted to chime in and correct this. U.S. Notes are precisely debt owed by the U.S....
The 2006 $1 D..* had only a single run of 640,000 printed, for sheets (i.e. pairs, mostly). The F..* had three runs printed, two of them for...
It was a sheet run, so it'll reach circulation in the form of occasional notes sprinkled into regular straps--for example, yes, the star pairs...
Varies tremendously. Some of them sell out in hours and maintain secondary-market prices far above the issue price. Others never seem to be in...
See the group lists here...they get a bit lengthy when you go back a couple decades and start running into all the gap runs, but that's how they...
Yep...the most recent run that was smaller was Series 1977 G..* run #7, which was 64,000 notes, printed January 1981. From the middle of Series...
