    Money from the congress of money, rather than the Congress of people (being charitable)

    Lio thinks in ways that merely normal people would never dream! I hope the breeding experiment succeeds; if it does, I may try it myself!

    Liō gives new meaning to the saying, “It takes money to make money.”

    Good job, Lio!

    Looks like Lio finally learned the value of money. Ever notice that Lio is “oil” spelled backwards?

    Money left alone disappears. Bills left alone multiply

    Would this be considered counterfitting? (or maybe “animal husbandry?”) If you cross-bread a $20 and a $10 do you end up with a new breed of a $15 bill?

    MS: No, it depends more on which bill has the dominant gene. Since Jackson’s legacy is more strongly remembered than Hamilton’s, I think they would come out as 20’s. But they would de-value faster, though.

    I don’t think that’s going to work unless one of them is a Susan B Anthony…..

    my grandpa used to tell me that money doesn’t grow on trees, come to think about it, i never looked

    DF you do remember the Susan B coins didn’t last very long

    Let me know how that turns out, Lio. I may be interested in that as well.

    I still have a Susan B Anthony coin from 1979. It has lasted thirty years so far and I expect it will be fine for years more.

    to M S:
    You get a 21 dollar bill.

    There was a scene in an old movie where after a run on the bank there were two bills of money left, so the bank was still technically solvent (I think; it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it). One of the characters puts them in a drawer and happily encourages them to multiply.

    Is the movie It’s a Wonderful Life ?

    that second panel is adorable

    All I need a one breeding pair of 20s and a copy of that book.

    Good kid! He’s gonna solve poor old Dad’s money troubles!

    Lio means “trouble” in Spanish.

    Now they make Sacajawea $1 coins. No need for Susan Bs.

  22. Ushindi

    UshindiGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    M S: Actually, 10s and 20s can’t successfully interbreed. They CAN, of course, mate, but due to internal genetic differences, currency MUST be of the same denomination to fertilize. I read it on the internet.

    there are still many of them around but for the most part, they were taken out of circulation very quickly as they were very similar in size to quarters

    Greetings, I come from the future. In my times, currency does indeed mate and unattractive males have to fight off the women humanoids.

    I would be very happy to get my hands on all the Sacajaweyas, Susan Bs, Benjamins, and Alexanders I can get. Does that make me bi-currency?

  26. DigitalFrog

    DigitalFrogGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    lohaces yes, that was Jimmy Stuart in “It’s a Wonderful Life”

    Lio is a good son.

    If the US really wants $1 coins to work, then bills need to be pulled from circulation at the same time.

    Lio, you will go to jail for that kind of act.

  30. pbarnrob

    pbarnrob said, 3 months ago

    It’s why it’s very difficult to spend a $100 bill. Several nation’s agencies got some pretty good counterfeits, and were expected to pass them and destabilize US currency. Maybe they didn’t realize that most (it was 2/3 in 1967, undoubtedly much more now) money is bits on tape.

    And Susan B’s, and their successor, Sacajaweas, I consider an insult to women. Should have kept with the old cartwheel. You knew you had something in your hand (or your pocket; snug up your belt!)

    I wonder if Lio is going to use all of the breeded money for himself or help is dad with the bills?
