Living (and loving) Life
Did you know the U.S. used to have $1,000 bills in circulation?
Truth be told, we’ve even used larger bills than that in the past…
Why we no longer use bills larger than $100 in the U.S.
Do you know why American dollars are commonly referred to as ‘bucks’?
I’m sure you’re familiar with the most common slang term that’s used for American dollars.
Yep, that’s right. It’s “bucks”.
As in “I sure could use an extra 20 bucks right now!“.
Have you ever wondered how using the term “bucks” to describe money came about?
Would you voluntarily pay an inflated price for something?
I’m sure you’re aware that we’re currently living through a period of steep inflation, but did you know there people voluntarily paying prices that greatly exceed the items’ actual values?
One of my favorite examples is this incredible “deal” that I ran across while shopping on Amazon.
