corporate sponsorship of currency (as in logos in place of presidential portraits) could raise hundreds of billions

Posted by zeitgeist Aug 31 '10, 00:31

suggests 100 million minimum and figures there could be as many 7000 corporations that could/would afford it, who spend hunreds of millions now on ads and promotions. heck it costs 30-50m to name a stadium.

easy way to make them more collectible too, limit how many bills they could sponsor, instant collectors item -- nm - Beaker Aug 31, 04:52 1
- say Upper Deck buys 500,000 and puts a different baseball player on every 10k (Mantle, Ruth, Strasburg, etc); like peeople wouldn't go batshit for it -- nm - Beaker Aug 31, 04:53
and the government that introduced it could expect to never be elected again. -- nm - mafic Aug 31, 02:32
