I hate to ask, but what does OMBC stand for?

I just meant an Odds Must Be Crazy video at youtube (which may or may not get posted at WOO). It's strange you didn't do a G2E video of your own creation.

Thanks for helping to expose a crooked casino

They strictly prohibit shooting videos at G2E. Otherwise, I would have liked to. Heather, I think, made one anyway.

You're very welcome. Thank you for your help!

I really like your answer for my question of the $25 bill. Sacagawea. Exploring new frontiers. Changing the money system would be a new frontier.

Thanks! I hope this won't violate the rule against controversial opinions, but I strongly favor abolishing the penny and paper dollar. I would leans towards getting rid of the nickel too, but one thing at a time. There is a particular president on paper money now I'd like to replace with Sacagawea, but forum rules prevent me from saying who.

This would make a good topic for your next Livestream.

I agree! The costs of manufacturing pennies and paper dollars just isn’t worth it. Not to mention the time costs of having to wait for change down to the penny.

But apparently there’s a zinc lobby that advocates for keeping the penny.

Also, it makes sense as inflation continues to have a $25 bill. Carrying four $25 bills instead of five $20 bills will likely become the norm, unless we’re all dead by then.

I would not oppose that. I would make it a higher priority to make the bills different sizes, like for the Euro. I also like the look of the currency of just about every country over the US.

Would you be in favor of coloring the bills something other than green? Red $5, green $25, black $100...etc?
