RE: Pocket Change Peculiarities: The U. S. Dollar
Cool. In Venezuela we don't use the coins for inflation, not even the low denomination bills, although what can I say, the government is socialist and continues to print garbage.
If you could loop a belt around his corpse and link it to a generator, you could probably power the hemisphere just from Bolivar spinning in his grave. He had is faults aplenty, but I rather doubt he would approve of what has been done by the governments in South and Central America, and especially Venezuela, since his time.
I would be totally against. However, his name has been more devalued than the currency, since each politician uses it in his campaign.
That sounds a lot like how political pundits and politicians love to invoke the names of "our founding fathers" to justify whatever they want to shove down our throats.
It's exactly the same. It seems the nature of politicians to drag with them everything they can use as propaganda for their interests.
But for them only names are important, never thoughts or ideas.
