People have become incredibly stupid. They get to vote, too. Two guys come in to the store with $20 silver certificate bills and try to tell me they are worth the amount of silver $20 would have bought in the year the bills were produced.

I tell them to GTFOOH!!

"It's a certificate for $20 worth of silver dollars or bullion" seems like a simple concept.

Exactly. But they say since the bills were made when silver averaged $5.04 per troy ounce and the price of silver is $118, they will settle for $395 per bill. They were giving me a 15% discount.

I guess they just missed the 1968 memo. They should just feel fortunate they didn’t get suckered into Liberty Bonds.

They had a Ron Paul for President bumper sticker on their car. The sticker must have come with the car.

I’m not understanding this math.

I guess that is the joke,

Never mind. I get it now. Holy fricking idiocracy

$20 / $5.04 x $115 = $456.35

You missed the opportunity to tell them that silver is actually worth over 80 x face value.

On the bright side, he was able to redeem the January 1865 interest voucher.
