by  Danny Ha 4/12/2012

Over the past 100 years there have been a lot of changes when it comes to the U.S. dollar. Unfortunately most of these changes have been for the worse from the standpoint of our well-being as average citizens.

In the old days our grandparents and their parents were used to conducting transactions using gold and silver coins as well as paper representative money substitutes such as silver certificates.
