quote of the moment + bonus trivium + fun fact

"the federal reserve and the department of the treasury are committed to continuing improvements in currency design in order to protect your hard-earned money."

-- propaganda sheet put out by the trio of the u.s. department of the treasury, the board of governors of the federal reserve system and the bureau of engraving and printing on the announcement of the new us$10 bill


trivium of the moment: the federal reserve is a non-profit organization that is not a branch of the u.s. government although their director is approved by congress and protected by the secret service (the same organization that tracks counterfeiting).


fun fact of the moment: the bureau of engraving and printing has the best url name of any u.s. government branch. http://www.MoneyFactory.gov/
