the US dollar is worthless!

I cashed a check from a US relative today for $30.00USD, it netted me only about $27.50CDN 🙁....very disappointing.
 
I've always wanted to get a gag gift for someone consisting of a truly worthless currency, perhaps the Turkish Lira. With an exchange rate of 1 USD to 1M Turkish Liras, I could give the person a brief case filled with cash worth a buck. 😛

turkey revalued the lira a while ago, so the new ones aren't nearly so bad.

Supermodel 'rejects dollar pay'

The world's richest model has reportedly reacted in her own way to the sliding value of the US dollar - by refusing to be paid in the currency.

Gisele Bündchen is said to be keen to avoid the US currency because of uncertainty over its strength.

It's probably because there is no $500 bills anymore.
Flashing a stack of 500?'s is more impressive than a stack of $100's.
