An excellent plan that would greatly reduce the use of credit cards at Whole Foods and Starbucks.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I have read reports that they want to remove the 500 euro note and also the $100 bill. Lets hope Trump gets elected to stop crazy stuff like this.

May I suggest that they have the picture of President Ronald Reagan on them?

You may!

Very good point that too few are discussing - the elimination of large bills ($100 bill is the latest bright idea), then small, then going digital - spells T Y R A N N Y

The reason large denomination bills are not issued is due to the drug trade. Large bills make it easier to operate in the drug trade. On the other hand, money in cash that is not circulating in the economy, is like an interest free loan for that amount. The EU issued a 200 and 500 series of bank notes just for this purpose.

The large-denomination bill is going the way of the bearer bond... which it is, in a way.

The banks want $100 bills eliminated (and recalled) too. They want savings of cash eliminated and the money put in banks where they can impose a negative interest.

They did away with them because they were worth SO much more than forged hundreds, fifties, twenties...etc.

However, the story is here:

Bring back the $1000 and $500 notes to circulation.

While at it, introduce the $200 bill and call it the “Reagan.”

Suggestions?

Have the Vice President get control of the federal agencies and employees.

Yes, I know they are mostly Democrat and will fight a Republican administration every step of the way with their allies the Democrat Party and the American press.

But, the thing is.......

You don’t have to control every federal employee.

You only have to control the computers and employees who handle pay.

Then, you use turnabout.

You treat the federal employees like they treat the Veterans.

Every time they have a pay action (step increase, promotion, travel pay, moving pay, etc...) you eliminate them from the payroll.

They will complain, but nobody answers the phone.

Keep telling them that you’re working on it.

After eight weeks, tell them you can’t find any record of them ever working for the federal government.

After a couple more months, you give them a form to fill out.

Two months later, accuse them of never sending in the form.

Continue to ignore their requests and label them as troublemakers and old codgers.

Of course, your first step is to put armed guards around the payroll offices to intimadate anyone who comes there.

What I do not understand is why so few challenges to seizure laws neglect to cite the 1st? Paying with cash is a free speech choice, choosing the method and manner of transaction. All other forms require a third party participation.

"...and is redeemable in lawful money at the US Treasury or any Federal Reserve Bank."

Now missing from the FRN, which is a promissory note from a bank, not lawful money.

As a side note to this discussion, please consider the following.

Patriots need work with their state lawmakers to either get rid of FDR’s unconstitutional paper money, or amend the Constitution to make paper money constitutional.

Article I, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts [emphasis added]; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

This is a good first step. I believe that it should also be accompanied by a return of gold and silver as one means of paying in legal tender. The denominations of the various pieces will need to be changed from the present amount stamped on them, of course, but it is just the passage of a simple law away from being a reality. We could make not only a one ounce silver eagle but a 1/2 ounce silver eagle as well, neither of which could possibly be confused with the other coins in circulation due to their significantly larger size. They could have a denomination of $100 and $50, respectively. Gold would be minted in 1/10, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 ounce sizes (as they are now), with the denominations being $400, $1,000, $2,000 and $4,000. This will send the message that the United States is serious about the soundness of its currency. It will also give the Treasury some profit on the minting and metal costs and, at the same time, give us a little time to wring inflation from our system, so that these coins will not be removed from circulation due to having more value as metal than money. Most importantly, it would send an additional signal that the government was not interested in interfering with the private affairs of the citizenry. That attitude is sorely lacking at all levels of government, and has been for at least a generation.

Get rid of the Federal Reserve. 1000 other economic and social problems will then begin to right themselves. Money is the intermediary in, and measure of, nearly all social interactions. A fake, controlled or corrupted money leads to a fake and corrupted society.

Cash is useful for preserving privacy

Exactly why the elites want to get rid of all cash.
