Good idea, that way when my wife accidentally sends it through the wash, the clothes come out nice and fresh! Talk about the value of the dollar! -Greg Epley Thinkzo Systems Web: http://www.thinkzo.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Reginald George" <sgeorge@xxxxxxxxx> To: <real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 7:38 PM Subject: [real-eyes] Re: money follow up Ha ha ha! That's a good one. Maybe they could just start making the bills out of recycled dryer sheets. Then it would keep the ants out of your clothes. They have circuits now they can print so you could just squeeze the corner of your dryer sheet and it would say, "hello, I am a dollar bill. They could print long range RF ID tags right into all the money to make it easier for big brother to know exactly what we spend it on too. All this value added to our currency should make the dollar go up on the international markets while making the world a safer place for democracy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Fettgather" <jimkc@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: 30 November 2006 Thursday 6:39 PM Subject: [real-eyes] Re: money follow up The paper money should be scented.

There is nothing so controversial that it can't be talked about. I do agree with Reg, however, that timing is everything. I personally like the idea of different size bills with the one dollar bill remaining the same size to minimize problems with the vending machines. Also, thanks to all of you for not pointing out that I do not know my period from my comma when I originally posted the vote totals. My fingers were going faster than my brain, which isn't that hard to do. <grin> Chip ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chip Bloch" <wbloch@xxxxxxxxx> To: <real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 9:51 PM Subject: [real-eyes] money follow up > This is an interesting follow up to the story about accessible money for > the visually impaired.
