DOLLAR DOWN - QUARTERS UP

Dan Friedus writes: "I know the State Quarters program has increased
interest in that denomination but it appears to have had one
unexpected consequence: see the below article.  Will the
Presidential Dollars reverse this trend?

"After falling 6 percent in the past three weeks, the U.S. dollar hit
a 208-year low against the U.S. quarter, which had been valued at exactly
0.25 dollars since its introduction in 1796. "The dollar continues to
slide against most major currencies," Morgan Stanley analyst Richard
Jemison said."

Onion's web site in April, 2004.  Still funny, though. -Editor]
