<p>[QUOTE=&quot;funkee, post: 1843767, member: 37925&quot;]I think what he means is that back in the late 1700s, some schmoe named Hissy McSwinkle was walking in the woods of Appalachia and dropped a 1794 silver dollar while going through his pockets looking for a flint. Clumsy like most McSwinkle&#039;s were in those days, he dropped it and never looked back. The coin laid there in the forest and over decades it was buried under inches of leaves, branches and dead trees. Over the next couple of centuries, wild boars and annoying large birds walked and crapped all over this land... making it more fertile than Aphrodite. By 1994, this very land was purchased by an optimistic, but unfortunate looking flax farmer by the name of Shabby McGee. His flax plants grew mighty tall in the rich crap filled soil; so mighty and tall that one could get lost in there chasing quail with a harpoon. The flax plants slowly but surely absorbed minuscule amounts of silver from the coin, which laid there 3 feet under the surface. Shabby wanted to sell the flax for linen, but his twice inbred brother-in-law wanted to keep it for himself. To settle the feud, they played rock-paper-scissors. Shabby won, as he had the rock and his brother had the paper. Back then rock beat everything. Shabby sold the flax plants to the local linen supplier, owned by McGee&#039;s 3rd cousin twice separated Shilp Von Blintstock. Shilp&#039;s factory turned the silver flax into the finest linen money could buy. Fancier than a bottle of &#039;shine with 3 X&#039;s on it. That linen was then purchased by the paper company Crane &amp; Co. who supplies the BEP with paper for printing. Tiny, tiny amounts of silver made their way into that finest of linen, which was eventually formed into the $5 bill the OP has in his hand. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then that $5 bill got some dye on it.
