They're released in the trillions so the price may drop, but I'll sell more if you want them.  Agreed upon escrow accepted if buyer wishes. USPS delivery, free shipping if you order 50 or more, otherwise add http://btcticker.appspot.com/mtgox/1usd to your order.

Supply changes weekly and is sometimes low, so ask in advance. Thanks for looking.

I would if I could. In the meantime, I'm stuck selling these pieces of paper. Someday, it will take wheelbarrows full of these to buy bitcoins.

Interesting product, but what can you do with it? There's not much blank surface for writing. Are they really absorbent or something?

It can be traded for food, gasoline, rent etc. It has a bad rep as drug dealers and criminals use it to launder their gains, but it does appear to serve a useful function.

It also has a picture of a dead guy on the front and arcane occult symbols on the back. That seems to give it value to some people.

Most unhappy people are concerned with the movements of such small, green pieces of paper, which is odd, because on the whole, it wasn’t the small, green pieces of paper which were unhappy.

Yes. We can even get The Bernank to fly it in for a fee.

Shouldn't this be moved to scam accusations? It's definitely an offer to buy into a ponzi scheme.

I'm actually offering an LYIP or maybe even a NYIP. I'm offering possible negative returns.

I will back up my product with the full faith and credit of company that made the ink on the paper.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAahahhahahahahahaah
THIS is THE best thread in the forum :D
good work all :D

TradeFortress I probably could for aud but what use is there for small "gold" coloured disks? also compared to green pieces of paper the postage would be higher due to extra weight :P
I do have access to some purplish plastic sheets that may be useful for something though at a premium price :D

You forgot to mention if buyers will get the same, or just similar papers.
Also, will they be in the same mint condition?

I think I have seen that serial # on the silk road tracking system. I will stay away for now. GL to you sir.

I heard that paper could be used to buy illegal goods such as drugs anonymously.

We should let Gawker, Charles Schumer and Joe Manchin know about this immediately. This must be stopped!

I can definitely see this turning in to a proper Onion story.

Hell yeah! 

If I had a blog or a venue for articles, I would write something along the lines of: Bitcoins are used to buy green paper which in turn is used to buy illegal merchandise.  This paper is untraceable, and many people are using it in every-day transactions. Some say it is a pyramid scheme to scam you out of your cryptocurrency.  Buyer beware!

Damn, you'd better email the federal reserve. Though I guess they already know as there are still some trees left. Maybe when they finally get around to releasing version 0.2 they'll fix that.

Seriously though, I heard they have had the "new" $100 design printed up for a few years, and are just waiting on the debasement to say that the new design is for the "new US dollar," revalued at the low low rate. In other words, they are waiting on over inflation to kick in.  Then truly these green papers will only be worth the BTU's they give off when burning them.

Come to think of it, FRNs are like Beanie Babies. Someone will keep making them no matter what and there's a sizable number of people that believe them to be worth more than they actually are.
