So I guess they're prepping for that hyper-inflation now. Can't wait for a cup of coffee to cost $75 and a month's rent to be $20,000. But hey, look on the bright side, I'm sure the stock market will look amazing breaking through all those all time records.

Speaking of, that would be an interesting exercise. They always talk about how various funds and stocks are up or down some percent over the previous day/week/year or whatever. It would be interesting to see that same data but adjusted for inflation. Like is the dow jones up 2% from last year or is it really down 0.5% due to inflation?

The reported push by Trump administration officials comes despite the 1866 Thayer Amendment, which makes it illegal to put the likeness of a living person on official U.S. currency, bonds or other financial notes. Additionally, current law limits U.S. currency to specific denominations and a $250 bill is not on that list.

isn't that illegal? They're going to have to change the law first--or just break it.

Please be true because it would be extremely funny.

Here's how I want it to look

This sounds like a lot of money for toilet paper…

Who is carrying $250 in cash?

Usable for a loaf of bread.

A three dollar bill would have been perfect.

I actually think this is good (but maybe a $500 bill). And increase the $10k limits to keep up with inflation.

But put Harriet Tubman's face on it or sth ffs

Actually, this is not unfitting. Imagine a $250 bill - who would use it? Not normal people, but primarily those who evade taxes or launder money. Exacly the reason why Europe killed the €500 note...
