America fought almost entire world war 2 with paper money.And today on an average every American spent already the entire money of next budget with credit cards.And America`s deficit budget makes it necessary to break records in printing currency.The joke is that the money you do not have is not of much value due to inflation.Relax.

Well, obviously it is not from 1789. In Denver? At that time, the US Constitution had only been signed for about a year, the Department of the Treasury was formed by Act of Congress that year. So you have a coin that commemerates the founding of the Treasury and shows the Treasury Dept bldg in Washington DC. There should be a date showing the striking date and a valuation somewhere on the coin. Good luck in finding out more about it. I would suggest looking at some numismatistic sites on google.

Go buy the book. Do you really expect somebody to reprint the government regulations here?

I just "Googled" Money misprints and found a ton of listings. If you had done that before asking here, you would have had your answer, but I wouldn't have 2 points. But I do now, cause you didn't. Thanks!

I have a real concern about this.  It is hard to believe this got through by attaching it to a Military spending bill.  I don't like the parallels it runs to the Biblical "Mark"\nWithout this National ID, you won't... \nDrive your car \nBoard a plane, train, or bus \nEnter any federal building \nOpen a bank account \nHold a job \nIf you can’t hold a job or have a bank account, how much buying and selling will you be able to do?

It is privately owned, for several domestic and international banks, some of the owner's names are Rockefeller does that ring you a bell? they print money backed up by nothing and charge interest to the govmt! we all end up paying for it (40% of our fed income tax) while the rich gets richer, the funny thing is that it is illegal as per our constitution, and we could buy it back at 450 million to abolish it if we wanted too, unfortunately some guys like John Kennedy tried to eliminated and was shot... you can get more details from a CPA here:\n\nhttp://www.totse.com/en/politics/international_banking_money_laundering/fedbank.html

A good question (but perhaps better off in the economics area of the site). Every pound or euro note you hold has been printed and spent by the state (before you receive it from your bank or employer or client), and on the day it was printed, the total number of pound notes in the country changed slightly.\n\n  This is the issue we are discussing here: how much money can a country print before it causes disaster?\n\n    The answer is that generally a country may print or create a small amount of cash on top of the notes it takes out of circulation, but while deciding how much to print, it must take a very careful look at recent inflation and exchange rate statistics.\n\n   If a country prints too much money, both the inflation and the exchange rates will go haywire / will be adversely affected. This is because, as money becomes more abundant but the things you buy with money do not, the ratio of people wanting to buy stuff and people selling stuff changes. \n\n  Simply put, if a country doubles the amount of money in circulation, then market forces will automatically take down the value of the exchange rate at least by half, prices of all goods and services will go up (will double), and imports become harder to afford as it now takes at least twice as much money to but the same imported goods.\n\n   Why is this not the case for the USA (and the Eurozone)? It is sometimes and to an extent (for the above reasons), but:\n when much of the extra money that is added into circulation does not get spent and then spent again by the person who received it, and again ..., instead the money is stockpiled somewhere (by a person, a company or a government), then the above affect does not take place until the stockpiled money is spent again. \n\nAnd if the total amount of money in the world being stockpiled (most large stockpiles are in dollars and euros as there are used for international trade and to keep other currencies stable) goes up, so (to conclude in the correct jargon) non-inflationary increases in money supply are possible.

You are confused.\n\nThe United States of America does not have any money.\n\nThey have a debt of $8,352,018,680,781.45 and it keeps increasing about $2 Billion PER DAY.\n\nYour share is about $27,966.97\n\nUnfortunately even if you send them a check to the world-famous Department G your share would still keep increasing unless the Goverment stops asking for money to the rest of the World, which is impossible right now because they spend more than the money coming from taxes.\n\nATTN  DEPT  G\nBUREAU  OF  THE  PUBLIC  DEBT\nP O  BOX  2188\nPARKERSBURG,  WV   26106-2188

The Fed's reserve requirement does not actually create money. Moreover, if you accept your arguments, the Fed is actually limiting the creation of money by requiring banks to keep more money in reserve than they otherwise would. The key problem with your argument is that the Constitution gives Congress the power to "coin money," which lending does not do. Lending allows people to use other people's money for a time. The money they are borrowing was coined by act of Congress, and the loan is repaid using money coined by act of Congress. The only money "created" is on paper.\n\nEdit: First, "to coin money" has a clear, physical meaning. There is no need to expand it into the more general sense of "to create money." Second, the framers of the Constitution clearly did not mean to eliminate the loan system which had been developing in America since long before even the Revolution, much less the Constitution, and continued even more strongly afterward. Third, the Federal Reserve Bank was created by act of Congress, and Congress observes and directs its governance, so the "creation of money" because of the Fed is through the direction of Congress, much like the physical coinage of money is not actually performed by Congress, but directed by Congress through the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Finally, the "money" created by lending is not actually usable money. When person A lends $100,000 to person B, person A cannot use that money and has no money, only a promise of money in the future. $100,000 is still all the money that exists from the transaction.

Because money printed has to be backed by something else of value, like gold. Otherwise the money is worthless. It's the same reason that the U.S. mint doesn't print enough money to simply give everyone one billion dollars. They wouldn't be backed by anything and a jug of milk would cost a billion dollars.

This is a typical Congressional idiocy. Especially since it is coming from our own pockets (taxes)!\n\nThis is yet another example of why you don't want these idiots in Congress to become president. Totally freaking clueless.\n\nFrist needs to be biatch slapped.

The amount of money is constantly fluctuating.\n\nEach country regulates its own currency.  If you print too much, the value of your currency will decrease.  The value of the money is based on the country's productivity.  The USA has the biggest GNP at $11.75 trillion.  A country's currency will go up or down in value based on the actions in that country.  If it prints more money, its value will drop in comparison to other countries that are not printing out more money.

well you can print them online these days.\n\nI would assume somewhere in DC. But could be wrong.\n\nFound it the Bureau of Engraving and Printing officially took over production of postage stamps in July 1894.\n\nI found a cool link below outlining the postage rates since 1863.

The forced inflation moves the the numbers up. These are the inflated numbers the Republicans are pushing off to the press and America. Just like Fox's 39%=31% approval rates. The whole thing is bogus, and your best off just not listening to any of their lies. A dollar today = a nickle from the amount of currency the Bush administration has printed. We need Bill Clinton back to show his graft again to America, and show everybody what they have been doing. I want to see at least over 50 indictments with Bush and Cheney first in line.  McKenzie Calhoun is a Republican, and a Rush Limbaugh smoocher.

As long as the cost of something ends with a 1, 2, 3, or 4, pennies will continue to be circulated. I hate those f*ckers.
