A smashing news release by the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve!!! --- "We have, after many months of thought and effort, proudly created a splendiferous new dollar! You get two for one of the stuffy boring old George W singles! These new dollars come in a vast selection of colors and flavors --- you can even eat them. These wonderful new dollars don't rely on the U.S. Treasury. They are worth whatever merchandise or services that people would be gladly willing to give you for them! That is Free Trade! No interference by Uncle Sam! Free yourself from your old economic concerns. Free yourself from the nagging worry that your tattered old dollars will become worthless.
Inspire your free trade instincts. Trade them, build a collection of sports figures, Hollywood stars, even pornography (the Nude Dollar, ha! ha!). The New Dollar is printed with the same high quality paper, inks and presses as the boring old dollar with stuffy George on them. For slightly extra, you can buy New Dollars with microencapsulated fragrances. Impress your friends when you rub your New Dollar and evoke the odors of vanilla, chocolate, pheromones, etc. and even the odor of a freshly printed N.D.
(N.D.'s which also contain various flavors of pheromones and sex hormones are available at a modestly higher price. You must be ten years old or older to purchase these .)
Two for One! You can't go wrong. Get with it! Buy one, get one free!!!
Also available are collectors' items, $ND's personally endorsed by Alan Greenspan or Bernie Bennanke. These are much more expensive of course--- 500 of your boring old GW dollars, but they can only increase in value and even become family heirlooms. These are strictly limited editions, a mere 8B $ND will be printed and signed!
(Regrettably, no Paul Volcker endorsed NDs will be available due to the regrettable development of a hand tremor.)
