Curations

I'm no history buff, but I can lift the past once in a while.

In 1776, the newly formed US of A was fighting for its life.

And like many startups, it was badly in need of funding.

So what did they do?

Well, what they do now.

They started to print money.

One of the first coins they made was the continental dollar.

It wasn't officially a dollar but that's what we call it today.

The reason I ramble about this coin is that it had a typo on the front.

It read in part "Continental Curency" with only one "r" in currency.

The coin now, should you find a real one, is worth a small fortune.

But there's wisdom in this "typo."

Curency.

CUREncy.

It almost looks more correct, doesn't it?

We need one of those today.

A solution to the money problem. 

Although the accepted reason was that the designer simply ran out of space, I'd like to think they designed the 1776 continental dollar in the way it should have been.

In the year the US declared its independence, it decided to start a curency.

The study of money is a fascinating one. And anyone who does can see where we're headed. And for all that future, and from all that's passed, we certainly require a cure.

And see.
