If Cash Gets Damaged, This Treasury Team Will Make Sure It’s Not a Lost Cause

The Washington Post is a firm advocate of our modern fake economy.
‘Cash’ once referred to a silver Chinese coin. That, of course, was a while ago.
Back in the Good Old Days, when ‘money’ meant silver (and gold) — it’s amazing how many languages use ‘silver’ for ‘money’ — if you damaged money, it didn’t care; ‘damaged’ silver was still silver, ‘damaged’ gold was still gold. That, of course, was a while ago, too.
Sometimes the old ways are best.
