Just be happy at your dollar, the Canadian dollar is only worth what $0.82 USD right now? Your $50 bill is worth almost $62 CDN!

[ivan salis]

how to know when you've "offically" hit the hyper infllation stage --when its cheaper to use dollar bills for toliet paper than it is use them to buy toliet paper -- your there.

which the way things are going will not be too long sadly.

Like 50 sheets of toilet paper are any more useful than one. Doh!

We've been there before.

In 1778, then Gen. George Washington complained that, "It takes a wagon load of money to pay for a wagon load of supplies." Two years later, 40 Continental dollar notes were worth only one silver dollar.

if theres 50 uses on a roll of toliet paper -- vs 1 per a dollar --when toliet paper hits $50 + a roll --guess what's cheaper to use ? --- in hyper nflation things became crazy --normal everday items become crazily over priced due to the over printed money basically becoming "worthless" --taking more and more money to buy the same item from one day to the next --in some cases in the old german republic back in the 20's --- prices would change every hour -- very many times in a day--- the few merchants that actually had stuff vastly over priced their items since they had to make a "profiet" on the trade and still later on "restock" their shelves as well at the new higher prices ) --they werre printing million and multi million mark bank notes ***

just think of taking a wheelbarrow full of money to the store to buy a days worth of food.

Have you bought toilet paper lately ? Costs more than a dollar. Has for some time now. So I am going to use todays date.

OK very true about the cost of toilet paper-

My question should have read --

When will the $1 US be worth the same as a sheet of toilet paper?

Example:

A 6 pack of Scott Tissue (one-ply) with 1000 sheets per roll cost $8.49

so $8.49 divided by 6 = $1.415 per roll

then divide that by 1000 sheets = $ .001415

So when will a $1 US be worth the same as 1 sheet of toilet paper($.001415)?

Correct answer wins the $50 US Bill- and yes I will send u 50 $1 US bills if so desired.

if that occurs you will not be able to mail squat -- the govt and all social services (post office--police--firemen --ect) will be gone . nice ideal though.

Geesh, a paradox


When the dollar is worth nothing, what will the $50.00 be worth?

This is a trick question as we have already passed that date.

The other day I bought a troy ounce slver coin for $5. It was tarnished but that didn't change the fact that I could buy 17.30 worth of silver for $5.

If you can buy $17.00 worth of silver for 5 bucks, you know someone was in dire straits for some reason or another.

Which means it served its purpose exactly - it got someone something that he didn't have money to pay with.

Silver and gold - always has a value, no matter what the price is on the market.
