NEWS: Treasury Dept. Announces Coin/Currency Reforms ...
WOW, big changes in the U. S. coin and currency system!
This was just posted in the news.announce.us-government.important newsgroup a few minutes ago. I wonder how many coins are going to be in the 2009 Proof Sets now! ================================================== =================== Washington, D. C. : April 1, 2009 ***** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ***** TREASURY DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES SWEEPING U. S. COIN AND CURRENCY REFORMS Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner announced today that there will be major changes to the United States coin and currency system as part of the financial reform process included in the sweeping Obama Stimulus Plan. "First", Geithner noted, "the cent and the nickel will be eliminated. Nobody really cares about them any more, except for coin collectors, and they cost more to make than they are worth. We project savings of $345.6 billion dollars over the next eighteen years by eliminating these unnecessary denominations." "Next", Geithner continued, "the smallest coin remaining in circulation, the dime, will be renamed the 'Sasha' after the Obamas' younger daughter. It will feature her gorgeous face on the obverse, and a design showing her playing on the White House swing set on the reverse. The quarter will similarly be renamed the 'Malia', after the Obamas' elder daughter. It will feature her gorgeous face on the obverse, and a design showing her hotwiring a car in the White House parking lot on the reverse." "For those of you with long memories", Geither added, "there used to be a half dollar coin in circulation. We are officially eliminating that denomination at this time, formalized an unofficial policy that has been in effect since the Reagan administration. If there is enough of an uproar from some special interest group, like the gambling industry and their one-and-a-half to one payout for 'Blackjack!', we'll reinsitute the denomination on a limited basis. It will probably feature the forthcoming White House dog on the obverse, a design featuring the dog watering Michelle Obama's new White House garden on the reverse, and be called a 'Honeybuckle' or whatever the name of the bitch turns out to be." "More important changes are coming in the currency arena", Geithner continued. "The dollar bill will be eliminated, replaced by a note named the 'Michelle", featuring the First Lady on the face and a design showing her mother minding the children on the back. Notes in denominations of Five Michelles, Ten Michelles, Twenny Michelles and Fifty Michelles will also be introduced, with similar themes and designs. These notes will only be issued while Senator Ted Kennedy is alive and the Crane Paper Company continues to dictate national monetary policy. After Kennedy's passing, the One Michelle, Five Michelle and Ten Michelle notes will be replaced with coins." "The one hundred dollar bill will be replaced with a note called the 'Barack'. It will feature a portrait of the President on the face and a design featuring Obama whipping a naked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with a switch on the back. New denominations of Five Baracks and Ten Baracks will be introduced, with similar themes and designs, bringing back equivalents of the old $500 and $1000 bills which used to be in circulation sixty years ago, when $500 and $1000 was actually a lot of money. There is NO TRUTH, I repeat, NO TRUTH to the rumor that the Five Baracks and Ten Baracks notes will have an RFID feature in the security strip so that large cash transactions by money launderers, drug dealers, coin dealers and other societal degenerates can be tracked." "The Bureau of the Mint and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing are already working on new dies and plates to produce these new denominations, and we expect them to be introduced into commerce by the end of the month. If there are any questions, please contact the Treasury Department Chief Deputy UnderSecretary for New Money, Dr. Faux Boghus, at 1-800-NEW-MONY.", Geithner concluded. |

Ken, some of us "oldsters" are aware of your ability to find strange and earth-shattering news just after the end of March. Still, we look forward to them every year. Thanks for the laugh. Jerry |
