So I'm at the pot shop the other day and I have three very crispy $20 bills that are straight from the ATM. And I made a passing remark to the cashier about how it must be new money. And then I looked at the date that the money was printed and it actually said 2006. And I was like, oh damn, actually this money was printed in 2006. And then he was like, wow, I wonder how they get it so straight and crispy like that again. And I honestly thought that was the stupidest question because I know the answer to that question And I thought everybody fucking knew this That they don't make the money straight and clean and crispy again if The money is straight and clean and crispy and smells brand new it is brand new and has never been circulated that those $20 bills from 2006 We're brand new money. I don't know why they haven't been circulated in in 17 years, but when money gets back to the bank and it's all shitty and gross and stained and like there's blood on it and it's all crumpled from being in my pocket, they don't like put it through some fucking disinfecting machine that steams it flat again. No, that money gets destroyed and the US mint just prints more money. Like, when people talk about why is there inflation, why don't we just print more money? Like, that's not a silly idea. I have been to the United States Mint in Washington, D.C. and as souvenirs in their gift shop, you can buy shredded up money, like in a paperweight or a keychain. If the money is crispy, it's brand new. And we will, like the government will shred money and just make new money so we don't have dirty crumpley money. I don't, I thought everyone knew that.

I mean this is what literally happens when you rip a bill in half or someway where you know businesses are going to except it because they won't except money that is ripped in half and tape back together so you go to your bank and you give it to them and then they give you a new money and then they send that back to the treasury and they get rid of that one and they put another one Like I don't I don't know how I got a guess some people just don't know that I don't know
