Stuff That People Write on Money
Money  talks, sure. But when money is inscribed and then let loose into the world, what it has to say doesn't make a lot of sense. And yet, people continue to write on their hard-earned cash and send those messages back into circulation. Gamblers scribble down lottery numbers, shoppers record prices, and at least one person who lacked a spare piece of paper has jotted down notes about lots (a parking spot, maybe?). What the U.S. Treasury thinks of all this communication, we have no idea. But it doesn't stop there. The green backs passing through your wallet may bear political jibes, ominous warnings, re-styled presidents, or requests for action. Comply as you wish. As for the faction advocating nothing less than liberation of the werewolves, surely there's a more effective means of getting the message out. On the other hand, it does inject the ATM experience with a heightened sense of drama. What will the money say next? (in Social Science) |
