Place your bets.
Even with the ubiquitous digital financial arena, the paper dollar note must remain a keystone of tangible circulated currency.
The section “Holler for Dollar” of the Common Cents post highlights much of the sound reasoning for keeping Our US Dollar, but one piece of wisdom not originally mentioned is the workhorse dollar’s importance in the continuing foundation of our United States of America as a fortified democracy.
In similar fashion to the all important price anchoring penny, the dollar is the smallest circulation currency that provides a base point for dollar amounts. And unlike the dense, heavy, rigid dollar coin, the slender, light, malleable dollar note is user friendly and enjoys sharing space in any given wallet.
To aid in strengthening our dollar note, we will have to reconsider its structural material, while preferably keeping other traditional design elements intact. We The People may literally need to take our dollar to a whole new level of high, and rework the fibers of cotton and silk to include hemp, one of the oldest crops of the now United States of America, establishing roots before the Revolutionary War.
MoneyCharms.US offers up a presentation made to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) that includes a sprinkling of design enhancements while keeping with familiarity and established form.
So now comes a tournament of sorts being played out at the expense of traditions, treasures, rights, truth, happiness, trust, lives, promise.
Not only must We The People play all of our best hands, We The Pupil must collectively and continually raise our bet to maintain a strong and winning democracy. We The Pupil have the absolute executive power to force every corrupt and foul participant to play only with their own rotting dead hands, and thus keep the cheats forever out of the game.
The cards are dealt and it is time for US All to bet on the success of We The People, Our Democracy, Our Republic. Collectively We Can Keep It—Worthwhile, Thriving, Fun—a Winning Hand.
WTF—Let US All stay in the good game.
