BumbleBees or Flags? Prexibux rolls
Looks like the first image of a mint roll is out:
http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs...dentifier=9100 Let's see if the rolls at banks are the same. Could be the end of the "Bumblebee". -Fred Shecter -- """Remove "zorch" from address (2 places) to reply. http://www.sirius.com/ |

Assuming that that current demand is maintained, that is over 12G of them over the expected ten+ years of the program. Add to that the legally required 4G Sacs (16G total coins) and you will have more than enough $1 coins to fully replace the 'rag' dollars in circulation (an item that I read a few years ago estimated that the USA would need about 14G $1 coins to fully replace the $1 FRN). See: http://www.usatoday.com/money/2007-0...tm?POE=NEWISVA (I don't know how long this will be up or if this link even works) Interesting and the link includes a nice photo of the coins in a USMint bin. -- ___________________________________________ ____ _______________ Regards, | |\ ____ | | | | |\ Michael G.

Next higher is 'T' for 'Tera', which means 'trillion'. -- ___________________________________________ ____ _______________ Regards, | |\ ____ | | | | |\ Michael G.

A $100 bill was called a "bill" or a "C-note". You owe me 5 bills or 5 C's or, depending on the situation, simply 5. Bruce |

Maybe there's something about that number 50. You can be sure that one day the kids will "rediscover" these terms and the cool terms will become popular slang all over again. Bruce |

I never thought of "G" in this context as referring specifically to the $1,000 bill. Instead, I've always heard it to mean any combination of money equal to $1,000. In other words, ten $100 bills would be considered a "grand" (aka "G"). Much rather have the SI version of $1G, though. :-) -- Jim Seymour |

In the 40's and 50's it was the adults -- mostly in the movies -- who used the terms sawbuck, double sawbuck, C-note, etc. (usually gangsters or shysters, IIRC). For whatever reason, they never seemed to refer to $50 bills. As kids, I never saw anything larger than a $20 at home. Bruce |
