Have you ever wondered where the word "dollar" comes from? Origins of the word "buck"? What is the dollars role in our history as nation? Where did it come from? Why was it silver? Check out the series of historical videos I have put together and learn the origins of the U.S. Dollar.
History of the Dollar:
Origins of the Word and Visuals:
Whenever I think of a dollar, I always compare it to a Morgan! Its sobering when you understand the context that only a knowledge of history can bring. Imagine paying a Morgan Dollar for a song on iTunes!! haha They just don't make dollars like they used to and they are getting shittier with every passing year. We live in a Matrix. Thanks for your efforts brother!

Imagine working 10-11 hours all day, toiling in the sun in hard labor on a farm in the west and at the end - paid one dollar. Would you swap that for a song? Nope. Imagine working all day in a coal mine in England and being paid a half a dollar worth of Silver (Half Crown). Today the dollar is fractional reserve fiat garbage.

I can't agree more my friend! You drive the point home! I often speak about this with the people around me. The truth is most are apathetic and will only care once its too late.

Junius, I watched the livestream today and your comment about what someone could buy with 3 pence back in the day was quite enlightening. I appreciate you sharing! This reminded me of that!
