Who's Leaving Who
Dollar Lyrics

Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with my love
Repeat

Making me so sad
Making me so sad (so so sad)
Making me so sad

You say you don't belong to me

I can't help feeling you're mine
I want to feel you close to me baby
You say you ain't got the time
Why are you hurting me baby
Why do you treat me so bad
You're just a run-around lover
Though I gave you everything I had
Yes I gave you everything I had

Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with my love
Repeat

Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with in the moonlight baby
Making me so sad (making me sad)
Making me so sad (so so sad)
Making me so sad

Though I gave you everything I had
Yes I gave you everything I had

Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with who were you with
Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with in the moonlight baby
Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with my love

Making me so sad
Making me so sad
Making me so sad

Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with in the moonlight baby
Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight

Fun additional fact; Jachimsthalers were minted in the town called Joachimsthal, which had a long history of silver mining, and dumping the then worthless rock that was mixed up with the silver ore in tailings dumps.

They called this worthless rock "pitchblende",essentially "lying/hard luck rock", which if you know your nuclear history, is what uranium and ultimately plutonium is refined out of.

Another fun fact is Joachimsthal has a spa that has dissolved radiation particles in it built during the Radon Craze era that still exists (its safe, amount of Rads is less than you get taking a high altitude plane ride), and who in a very interesting coincidence has on its guest signature one for "Robert Oppenheimer" from the 20's...

So the "Father of the Bomb" visited the town were Marie Curie first discovered Radon in the Pitchblende piles as a child...

History is full of odd coincidences ain't it

Until the late 1960s or early 1970s, the original U.S. dollar sign had 2 straight vertical slashes "||" over the "S" instead of the simplified solitary vertical slash "|" that we see today in "$". Some people have suggested that this original, double-slashed dollar sign came from overlaying a "U" atop the "S" as an abbreviation for United States, with the lowest curved portion of the "U" eventually being dropped from usage to leave only 2 vertical slashes across the "S". Over time both vertical slashes evolved into today’s single slash.

The reason $5 bills don’t have Lincoln’s watermark is because people used to bleach the bill leaving just the paper, and printed $50 bills on the same paper, and cashiers could not tell the difference between Lincoln and grants watermark for some reason, so in 2006 they changed the design from Lincoln’s watermark to a big “5”

Also, Spanish Pieces of Eight were valid currency during the era of the Pirates.
"American colonists would use the Spanish dollar alongside British currency, as it was against the law for them to create their own money and coins from England were not plentiful. It took eight reales, another Spanish currency, to make up one Spanish dollar. Thus it was known as pieces of eight.
American colonists would sometimes cut the coins into 8 pieces like a pie in order to make change since smaller coins were often scarce."

I worked for a money collecting contractor that picked up cash from businesses in those armored trucks. The amount of stuff I learned about money is insane. For instance, those fraud pens only detect for the paper but people bleach bills and print over them so they get through. Always inspect their other details! Another antifraud measure is that the shirts on the people on the bill are textured. So if you run your nail over it, it makes a scratching sound. Unfit money is sorted to be sent out to be destroyed and counterfeits are tracked based on the numbers all over the bill. Super interesting.

You'd be surprised how little attention people pay to the change in their pocket. I used to do the accounting at a small grocery. The cashiers would set aside the "weird" coins or anything they couldn't identify. I swooped in and collected them every morning. I have a pretty cool collection. I don't think I'm paying for anyone's college, but there's some absolutely neat and bonkers stuff just sitting in tills or center consoles or old coats. And that fascinates me.

@Spooky Skeptic In the 80s my dad was a coin collector, and had this book showing how valuable coins were. As a kid I used to take any change I had and look through that book, and see if it has any of the symbols, letters, wheat back, etc. It was a fun hobby before the internet.

@nazfan01

@Spooky Skeptic - My son is special needs and has worked at a grocery store for 10 years now. Sometimes customers would give him tips but what they were really doing was giving my son "money they had no idea about" (in other words they figured he didnt know any better) - Most the time they were tipping him collectible coins.

My favorite is the CoinStar machine. Ive noticed that CoinStar seems to reject silver coins quite a bit .... mostly Roosevelt dimes. I have tons of those alone. what amazes me is people just brring in coffee cans full of coins and dump them not knowing what they are dumping in. There were many time that Morgan silver dollars are just sitting there untouched. Many standing Liberty quarters. What I do miss out on the manager would show me a foam coffee cup full off coins he figured were worthless. He even gave me quarters that are still in circulation... 1976 Bicentennial quarters.

There have been a few times that some silver Canadian coins would show up. Amazingly, one 19 30s Canadian silver was there and it turned out to be appraised at $500 because uit was a rare piece. So yes, I know what you are saying.

You forgot to explain "bits" -- like in "two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar, all for our team stand up and holler" and the door knock "shave and a haircut two bits." If I remember right -- and anybody out there help me if I'm wrong -- the bit is left over from the Spanish dollar that had eight bits/parts. In USA money, 2 bits = 25 cents, 4 bits = 50 cents, 6 bits = 75 cents, 8 bits = a dollar. A lot of people still say bits for prices and for insults: "Why, you two-bit crook, I oughta punch your lights out."

Due to the short lifespan of bills, Canada replaced its $1 bill with a coin and then shortly did the same with the $2 bill afterward. It's estimated that Canada saves millions of dollars a year in printing costs. While we're on the subject, canada also got rid of the penny. It's value low and it's costs relatively high, it was deemed not worth keeping it. And while we're on that subject, most Canadians don't use currency anymore for transactions, 77 vs 23%. Electronic transfer funds is so widely used that people who depend on handouts like charities, now need electronic tap readers to accept payment from debit and credit cards.

Edit: with Canada's transfer to using e-transfer is instead of cash, the rate of fraud has dropped significantly. And because cash transactions are so low now, Canada got rid of the $1,000 bill which effectively killed black market activity.

The '$' is not the first symbol used, and was originally a 'S' transposed on top of 'U' and stood for a 'unit of silver'. In 1792 the 'Sherman Coinage Act' determined that the money of the United States would be the US Dollar; and would have an exact size and shape and be stamped; and consist of 380 and 4/16 pure gains of silver.

We were always taught that the dollar sign started as a U and a S written on top of each other. Slowly the bottom of the U was omitted making it just 2 vertical lines (which it was when I grew up in the early 70's). And through the computer age the two verical lines have changed to just one, and this is now changing to just tabs sticking up and down from the top and bottom of the S. Your theory of the P & S was never even a thought let alone a line of text in our text books.

Think it comes from Spanish dollars? Wikipedia says they used them in New South Wales... they punched a hole in the middle to make them Australian 😂

@Phil_A_O_Fish

Ah, this is just so quaint and old-fashioned, isn't it? Especially when you consider that so many countries outside of the U.S.A. now have their currencies printed on polymers rather than on paper, don't they?

You forgot to mention how they changed the color of the bills to reflect the colors used in the board game, Monopoly, as a way of mocking the public.

Mono = one
Poly = many
E Pluribus Unem = "out of many, one"

I never thought about this but. Gilbert Stuart designed the dollar and I live in providence and Gilbert Stuart has a school in providence and is one of its historical figures. Interesting... conspiracy or coincidence lol

dollar comes from Greek ταλλαροι , tallari , shekel comes from greek σικλος or σιγκλος , siklos - siglos , both Greek words mean buckets - specific volume containers used in trade . Money is related to ( alone ) monk monje monaco etc, When Zeus had a fight with Hera he hanged her alone from Olympus , and she became Ηρα μονία Hera monia - Hera the lonely Her worship was later moved to Rome , the first mint in Rome was in the yard of her temple , monia became moneta monnaie , moneda moneten , ki etera (etc ) in the dialects

Kinda surprised he didn't talk about the tiny Owl nestled just to the left of the "1" on the top right of the 1 dollar bill.

You should do video on why the United States still uses the penny, it costs more to produce a penny then what it's worth.

@carrienation6080

But pennies ... and all coins ... last way, way longer than paper money.

@Carrie Nation Lower denomination coins aren't going anywhere, pennies are the only coin that costs more to produce than what it's worth.
The US needs to modernize its currency, the government would save 80 million dollars If they discontinued the penny.
Polymer notes are more cost affective and last 3 times longer than paper bills, they also have less of an environmental impact

I understand why there are not as many security measures on the Washington one dollar bill, but why is the design still the old one with the small portrait and not enlarged like every other denomination was in the late 20th Century? It clashes with the rest, and since they have to destroy old singles anyway why not redesign it to match the others??

Leaving a physical backing of the dollar was a mistake.

I don’t know how it would be possible to run out of money when no other early colonists with them besides themselves

You didn't mention that if you have unusable bills, like your dog chewed it up, you can get it replaced. (Homework for school doesn't count for the teacher)
Money that has been mutilated or extensively damaged beyond repair or use should be submitted to the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing or the US Mint.
In the United States, you must submit more than half (over 50 percent) of the paper bill intact.
This is in part to prevent people from ripping money in half and replacing both halves. The only exception to this requirement is if less than 50 percent of the bill is intact but there is sufficient supporting evidence (such as burn marks) that the remainder of the bill has been destroyed.
So basically, send all of damaged money and they will replace what can be verified.

EDIT. There was teacher who's dog chewed up the entire class's homework (not kidding) she took home to grade and she gave every student an "A".

@humblehummingbird2011

Interesting Info... Here's a question, if it's 25% Linen and 75% Cotton, why isn't it called Material Money? The One Dollar Bill really ought to be redesigned, it's weird, in all sense of the word.

@DougUnfunny

the reason old money is destroyed is so that time travelers have hard time using it in the past.

Anyone know the track that starts at 5:34 ? Sounds like a film score track but I need to know lol very beautiful piece.

@mattheweburns

I remember reading that the paper the United States dollars are printed on that same type of paper is only used by one other nation, Iraq. Not sure if that is true

@Backroad_Junkie

Early American currency was so widely counterfeited, that Ben Franklin purposely misspelled words on the bills.

The counterfeiters, who thought the bills were counterfeit, would correct the spelling, thus showing the bills were counterfeits, lol.
