<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2233658, member: 19463&quot;]Money enters the market in the same way as always. I am retired from, own stock in and receive a pension from a contractor that makes Patriot Missiles.&nbsp; Every time we sell one we get a bag of 2-3 million dollar coins of which my personal share is just enough to buy an item from the dollar menu at Taco Bell.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m also retired from the Army.&nbsp; Every month they send me a bag of small copper coins which I use to pay taxes on what I earned elsewhere.&nbsp; Considering the number of people who sell junk to the government, new coins get out there through middlemen like Taco Bell and the county tax office which spend money paying their employees and buying ground beast and typewriter ribbons.&nbsp; I&#039;m really surprized someone has not done a TV miniseries on the life and travels of a dollar bill.&nbsp; Today many of our &#039;coins&#039; are electronic but the Romans did not understand the question &quot;paper or plastic&quot;.&nbsp; A few of us have spent silver dollars or even silver dimes.&nbsp; My father spent gold coins (rarely!) and was just out of high school when they made that illegal.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I know certain business tycoons who think they create money/wealth.&nbsp; I guarantee that if that were true, the picture on the bill would not be a dead President but a living businessman.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Quiz:&nbsp; What Roman Emperor died because he failed to pay soldiers as promised?&nbsp; How many others?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
