I tried putting all the information from my spreadsheet in this post, but it didn't turn out so well. Here's a link to my information about an honest money system. BitCoin and others, don't get it for me. This will work for everyone, and it's fair. Here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3zC5jD...

I haul it and have not seen it, but will keep my eyes peeled.

Ayn Rand has already been honored on a U.S. government postage stamp, in 1999. At least it was first class.

Maybe you could put it in a public directory of Dropbox.

"I am actually opposed to Ayn Rand being on any of today's bills. "
I think she would rather be on a gold coin. The symbol of the Gulch was the dollar sign, though, so that would be the justification for putting her on a US dollar coin.

Quite a few communities have their own community-backed coinage, struck in silver, that is being used as an alternate currency...

The rate board at my shop has 2 columns per job - one in Ø (designating Fiat Funnymoney - thanks to K. W. Royce, AKA Boston T. Party, for that, BTW) and one in Ag$ (with an ounce to $ conversion rate in the corner).

How about a picture of Washington with a big X over his face. Wherever the word ONE appears, the letters, LESS follow it.

Oww, that hurts...

Maxine Waters comes to mind.

I am actually opposed to Ayn Rand being on any of today's bills. I think she would rotate in her grave if her face was put on our fiat currency.

My vote was for Eleanor Roosevelt. A MUCH more appropriate target. A modern choice would be Barbara Boxer.

I would like to buy a role of those coins. Man that would be like buying a second home but it would be so cool to have.

It would be neat to have Ayn Rand on a gold coin. But I would not scorn her appearance on a paper bill, either. (Though she might have.) I would like to make it more difficult for people to escape knowing about her.

I have been working on a monetary system for quite some time (about 1981). I have finalized it and have put in into a spreadsheet. I would love to share it and ask all to spread the word. It is fair and just for all. If you know how I can add an attachment to this forum, please let me know.
Thanks.

Excellent!

Since Ayn may not make US currency, how about we our own, like some municipalities? We could have it gold-backed!

Hello khalling,
I too believe it is only fitting that her image should appear on a coin made of precious metal as opposed to a piece of paper backed by looters...
Good for her though that she has received the recognition.
Regards,
O.A.

It's ironic that I should have read this right after paying for Pt wire for my work. I could have bought Au instead, but Pt works better.

If it's going on a Federal Reserve Monopoly Money sheet, I think Ayn Rand would toss her cookies. I cannot think of something more insulting to her image, or her memory. Perhaps Beyonce (or #ell, show its true worth and put Peloser on it) would be more appropriate...

Were it on a US note, or better, a Silver (or Godl) certificate then that would be appropriate... and that would be amazing... however, that would necessitate the US *having* a Silver or Gold reserve...

He indicated that conservatives had only one choice - Ayn Rand - while liberals had to split their votes... I think that's rationalizing.

how did you see it occur?

I wonder if anyone makes a Ayn Rand 1oz gold piece. It would be a privately-produced coin, not associated with the gov't. I would rather have that than have her a $1 piece.

Interesting how the author did gymnastics to explain away how this occurred, also making it a partisan commentary...
