We probably haven't seen real Dollars in a long time. I believe a Dollar is defined as a measure of silver, and it's a little bit of a stretch but still legal to make it a silver certificate that has a claim on a real silver coin somewhere. Once they took out the gold and silver certificates I think it's a stretch to call it a Dollar anymore. It's a Federal Reserve Note, more akin to Monopoly money than to a real Dollar. But as long as the public goes along with it, that's the reality.
You know they're fucking with you, right? Have you ever played the Monopoly game? What color is the $20 bill? Green. The $10? Yellow. Which one has some blue? The $50. Which one is without color? The $1 note.

Ask yourself, why is this true? Does it mean when everybody stops playing, the game is over, and the money is worthless?
