I almost bought a $1 1957 Silver Certificate this morning. A dollar of silver in 1957 was its value then, what is the value of that bill today?

We definitely have some awesome police work going on in this County. Too bad we can’t say the same for the DA’s office.

Ding ! + 1, stunned. very good one. “if they accept cash”. ROTF


BTW, what’s the big deal with counterfeiting cash? The entire planet accepted a laser printed “original” birth certificate for our President. Lemme toss in some birther comparisons here, not that I’m one, but:


If you ask me to “authenticate” a recently discovered copy of the Magna Carta, for example, you’re not going to hand me a laser printed “certified” original, you’re going to let me see the real thing on parchment or velum paper or whatever, right? The dusty old thing signed by the King? The actual paper record, not something out of a laser printer?


Just sayin’
