1) It isn't money - it is CURRENCY.

2) What counterfeiters print is just as intrinsically valuable as the government offering. Governments just want to maintain their seigniorage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seigniorage

Enjoy it while it lasts, it's all an elaborate carnival show to keep the rubes hooked.

I used to be a printer and owned a small print shop in the 1990's. A real counterfeiter, like Iran and N Korea, would just buy UV ink and add this feature. The home fool with an inkjet, not so much.

I saw a story a while back about how many 100 dollar bills have traces of drugs on them. It does seem like there might be a problem in this country

When I was still working in Kennedy Hall at Bragg, late 1980s or early 1990s, there was an article in the Economist magazine which said over 90% of US currency tested positive for cocaine.

Not a new thing...

I thought currency was coin the other things are paper notes for the federal reserve and we use to have promissory notes called gold or silver certificates for exchange for it's printed value in gold and silver coin on demand.

These days you can call anything by any name you want, pretty much - you can call a man a woman or vice versa, etc. If you want to use newfangled definitions, what difference does it make?

But if you address things in the way the founders of this country did, you will use THEIR concepts and terminology, not ours.
