Here's a short photo-essay on the evolution of currency:
Photo Essay: Money Through the Ages
I'm wondering:
The U.S. silver certificate in photo #7 mentions the "Bearer's First Amendment right to petition the government for a silver based currency." That's a wildly creative reading of the 1st amendment that I know. What are they talking about? Also, if this is a constitutional right, what happened to it?
And #9 in the photo-essay says you can send money via Twitter. I've never seen any sign of this?
