the US dollar is worthless, give it all to me to dispose of.

 

[Sphexi]

I cashed a check from a US relative today for $30.00USD, it netted me only about $27.50CDN ....very disappointing.

 

[novasatori]

last time I checked I could still buy stuff

 

[Fritzo]

It must be me, but I can only understand about every other word...

I've always wanted to get a gag gift for someone consisting of a truly worthless currency, perhaps the Turkish Lira. With an exchange rate of 1 USD to 1M Turkish Liras, I could give the person a brief case filled with cash worth a buck.

 

[rocadelpunk]

didn't jay z retire ten albums ago?

zimbabwe, you could probably buy a wheelbarrow full of their money, and it would cost more to ship it than buy it

The only time most Americans would notice this is if they travel.

turkey revalued the lira a while ago, so the new ones aren't nearly so bad.

Supermodel 'rejects dollar pay'

The world's richest model has reportedly reacted in her own way to the sliding value of the US dollar - by refusing to be paid in the currency.

Gisele Bündchen is said to be keen to avoid the US currency because of uncertainty over its strength.

I thought Jay-Z could still make solid beats. That track was awful.

It's probably because there is no $500 bills anymore.
Flashing a stack of 500?'s is more impressive than a stack of $100's.
