Fractional currency proposal aims for dollar note division
A 19th century idea suggests cutting one dollar greenbacks into halves quarters or tenths without losing value. Proponents argue it would create easy small-change and boost note circulation, though practical passage seems unlikely due to awkward half notes and wartime security concerns. A second note discusses stone preservation, noting calcareous rocks erode quickly while freestone endures, keeping inscriptions legible for a century.
