BumbleBees or Flags? Prexibux rolls

Looks like the first image of a mint roll is out:

Let's see if the rolls at banks are the same. Could be the end of the "Bumblebee".

I note in an article in today's (Wednesday, 2007-02-07) USAToday that the Fed
has ordered a bit over 300M of the first design. Assuming that that current
demand is maintained, that is over 12G of them over the expected ten+ years of
the program. Add to that the legally required 4G Sacs (16G total coins) and
you will have more than enough $1 coins to fully replace the 'rag' dollars in
circulation (an item that I read a few years ago estimated that the USA would
need about 14G $1 coins to fully replace the $1 FRN).

See:

http://www.usatoday.com/money/2007-0...tm?POE=NEWISVA
(I don't know how long this will be up or if this link even works)

Interesting and the link includes a nice photo of the coins in a USMint bin.

I am not familiar with the abbreviation "G". Is that a gazillion?

'G' = 'Giga'

It is an SI prefix just like 'M' for 'Mega' (million), 'K' for 'Kilo'
(thousand), etc. 'Giga' means 'billion', such as in a 250 GB hard drive,
which holds about 250 billion bytes of data. Next higher is 'T' for 'Tera',
which means 'trillion'.

that's ok for pc's but in monetary slang, a g is 100. ie, i need 10g's to
bail


I always knew "G's" as $1000 bills. 5G's. or five "large". A $100 bill
was called a "bill" or a "C-note". You owe me 5 bills or 5 C's or,
depending on the situation, simply 5.

Yeah, and a five was a "fin" and a ten was a "sawbuck". We're showing our

I dunno, Ed. Depending on what circles you travel in today, these terms are
still in use. Deuce, fin, sawbuck, double sawbuck...... I don't recall any
name for a fifty, maybe because they were used about the same as the 50¢ is
today. If you wanted to handle bigger bills, you jumped directly from the
double sawbuck to the C-note. Maybe there's something about that number 50.
You can be sure that one day the kids will "rediscover" these terms and the
cool terms will become popular slang all over again.

I never thought of "G" in this context as referring specifically to the
$1,000 bill. Instead, I've always heard it to mean any combination of
money equal to $1,000.

In other words, ten $100 bills would be considered a "grand" (aka "G").

Much rather have the SI version of $1G, though. :-)

The only nickname I can think of for a 50 was "four bits" for the 50¢
......... you remember "Two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar. All for
Central stand up and holler!" Nostalgia reigns. :-)

Sorry, Ed, I'm for EP High. Central was a hated rival.

Without resorting to Google, I still can't think of any widely-used slang
for a $50 bill. In the 40's and 50's it was the adults -- mostly in the
movies -- who used the terms sawbuck, double sawbuck, C-note, etc. (usually
gangsters or shysters, IIRC). For whatever reason, they never seemed to
refer to $50 bills. As kids, I never saw anything larger than a $20 at
home.
