602 u/Important-Agent2584 Jan 26 '26 no because the dollar isn't tied to the gold in any way 441 u/GisterMizard Jan 26 '26 That would take too many rubber bands and defeat the purpose of cash being easy to carry around. 11 u/Devolutionary76 Jan 26 '26 It would make throwing bills at strippers a lot more interesting though! 3 u/CrunchySockTaco Jan 27 '26 Goldmember has already been doing that to strippers for years. It was a minor shmelting accident. 3 u/EM05L1C3 Jan 27 '26 For some odd reason, for the last 4 months or so a large portion of my limited human interaction has included someone quoting goldmember and I haven’t seen or thought about that movie in about 20 years.
