Let's Put Ronald Reagan On All the Money
Ken Layne · 06/03/13 12:00PMA dumb new poll proves that 38% of Americans still believe Ronald Reagan was a "great" president—so great, in fact, that his dyed hair and rouged cheeks should be on American money!

Hamilton Nolan · 05/07/09 10:15AMThe Brainwashing Effect of $100 Bills
cityfile · 03/27/09 09:30AMIn yet further evidence that our lives are totally ruled by random quirks and irrationalities, even when it comes to money, new research shows that the way we feel about cash depends on bill denomination.
