Mercury dimes rule!

Some Half dollar porno
I love looking at these Liberty half dollars. Without any rationale, they are one of my favorite money designs. Same with the Ben Franklin fifty cent pieces.
1963 five dollar note
During 1963, two different five dollar notes were manufactured. One is a red seal U.S. note that the U.S. government
used to pay its debt. The second note (bottom) is a Federal Reserve $5 dollar note that is used to put the U.S. government into debt. Eventually, the red seal notes that came in different denominations ($1, $2, $5, $20, etc.) were completely discontinued. Currently, only Federal Reserve notes are used for our paper currency. The rules for the usage of Federal Reserve notes also applies to digital money (money that is not currency.) In other words, it is assumed that an electonic dollar is a Federal Reserve note as opposed to a red seal note or silver certificate. (An additional note: it is interesting to see Lincoln's visage on this 1963 red seal. Kennedy was assasinated in 1963. Some have speculated that Lincoln was assassinated by international bankers...Kennedy too, although there seems to be no proof of either claim.

Some quarters
The animals don't need money. They are pushed to act through their nature. Human beings need money. Without money, nothing can be done. No bridge can be built, no highway can be paved, no product can be sold, no food can be grown. Money is the controller of human activity. It is representative of human instinct. Money trancends human energy and material energy. It is neither, yet both. It is the in between the two.
Do not mistake money for material energy (goods and services.) Those who worship materialism are devoted to the fullfillment of goods and services. They are blinded by their desire for material satisfaction. Most human beings fall into this category.

A great collection of Washington quarters
The value of money is always changing, yet remains the same. These silver quarters have a fixed value, but our perception of their value is constantly changing from moment to moment. Their true worth is not only irrelevant, but impossible to determine. Value comes in many forms.

Benjamin Franklin
Among numerous accomplishments, Benjamin Franklin was the first Postmaster General. His book "The Way to Wealth" is an impressive guide that reveals several easy steps to wealth-building that include thriftiness, self-monitoring, thoughtfulness and a love of work. A few favorite quotes include "money begets money."
"The more there is of it the more it produces every turning so that the profits rise quicker and quicker."
"He that destroys a breeding sow destroys all her offspring to the thousandth generation."
