Paper money perversity
925914
The absurdity of paper money has a long history of failure. Each generation ignorantly buys in to it because we do not study history.

The cash doesn't fit to well in the slots.  The springs that make the clips hold the money down pinch the bills and rip them

As a reader of Rachev and co's earlier work 'Stable Paretian Models in Finance' this work is admittedly about halfway down from the mathematical stratosphere where the former floated. If anyone knows of a work which can clearly and convincingly explain  the implications of this work for the mug punter please let me know at jenpalex@actapple.org.au.

The reader itself is fine and works well. But Square's service is shady. There are lots of reports of businesses being classified as "high risk" seemingly at random and funds being put on hold for months with no way to resolve the issue. No live support, etc. I wouldn't want to give them that much power over my business. Also, the reader is free from them, so I'm not sure how/why Amazon is selling it.

Well written, fascinating history of finance in America with a focus on a cast of creative moneymaking deviants and the political, social, and economic circumstances which fueled their criminal activity. Highlighting infamous counterfeiters that captured the public imagination in their respective times and places, the author embeds each engaging if brief biographical tale of deviant moneymaking within the larger context of early colonial and postcolonial American economic development that enabled the practice of counterfeiting and shaped its relative rise and fall. Readers will be challenged to rethink the nature of banking, money, credit, and currency in the past and present. In the early 21st century, the rise of credit cards and the explosion of their use via E-commerce has helped another generation of counterfeiters make the front page of newspapers and the lead story on the nightly news. Mid 19th century, after the American Civil War, the Federal government reduced the weight of counterfeiters in the American economy through the centralization of the supply of money and aggressive currency policing. Now as financial globalization accelerates, protecting legitimate electronic money and credit from global deviants requires increasingly expensive technologies of cybersecurity to combat highly skilled and decentralized networks of counterfeiting criminal hackers operating across national borders. Perhaps the author will write an equally worthy sequel, Cyber-Counterfeiting Paradise  2.0.

The problem with many money folds is that they are pretty much impossible to do with ordinary U.S. currency, Peter Engel's "Dollar Bill Crab" is a good example.  Montroll does not fall into that trap. Each of these models are quite "foldable" with a bit of practice, and many of them are quite easy to memorize.  If you want something different besides traditional origami, this book is a good choice.

Maybe we can use Monopoly money and Parker Brothers could be the new Federal Reserve.

Kind of the same thing - right?

Uh... I guess we can all be the dog!

Forget spy thrillers. Bad Paper is entertaining, plus it is enlightening in everyday world. A perfectly innocent and well meaning individual can get sucked into this nether world of debt collection business. Once in, you have to play by their rules, that is, if you don't know your way. That is where Bad Paper comes.  Too much productivity of too many good citizens are squandered once trapped into this shadow world. Until the consumer protection laws catch up and purge the cesspool of personal debt world, you need back-alley-smart reads like this.

I had to move off MS Money when I purchased my new computer with Windows 7.  I am still unable to get my bank transactions from a major us bank to download into the product, and their help via chat is worthless. I too got the CC-502 error. I think they need to move their support to America the communication barrier is just to great. I manually downloaded transactions and loaded them in quicken, to get started, but am doing all entry manually now.  So basically this is a big manual spreadsheet!  I really miss MS Money!

I thought it was gonna be a lot of paper money but it was nothing, don't recommend if you need a lot of paper money for activities or projects.

I have followed the advice of Robert Prechter for decades and long ago discovered that he is always very early in his predictions but hardly ever wrong.  He kept me from losing any money in all these years for which I owe him a great debt.  I was able to retire early and feel safe as possible in, currently, short-term Treasuries.  Paper profits don't mean a thing unless you can actually gain in real terms.  The secret is to not lose any of your capital and to stay far away from the herd mentality.

has four nice card compartments one with a view window. Looks like it is made good.  But I have a real trouble getting money in and out. It shows sliding money out and in at a angle but I sure cant get it to work for me. the spring that holds it down is real tight.  there is a Velcro strap that goes over it also but when you get the money in not room for the strap to fit.

Our son sometimes plays with his ATM toy.  The toy has provided educational opportunities to go over counting money and there are a couple of words and numbers that we practice while playing with toy.  My complaint about the toy is that there is no drawer to store the money in the deposit area of the ATM.  This means that sometimes bills get jammed when making a deposit and there is nothing included to keep coins and bills organized.

I'm currently on my third copy of MS Money, previously used 2004.  I think 2004 may have been the last decent version.  2007 (With SP1) seems pretty buggy in the portfolio interface, very slow compared to older versions, and their free "premium" services sucks.  The MyPublicInfo offer is only good if you BUY a copy of the MyPublicInfo report (You get a second free.)  Carbonite, which I have a demo right now, works great - unfort., it ONLY backs up your Money files in the premium package.

This is definitely my last copy of MS Money.  I'll be switching to SOMETHING else, probably Quicken, though I don't hear the best things about it either.

Thought provoking presentation on the history and impact of money in our lives.

it'd be better if there was a way to have cash stored in it. as it is, you really can't put many bills in it.

I've used Microsoft Money since March 1993 (version 2.0) and over the years, I had upgraded it regularly, sometimes every year, but at least every two years. Since the announcement over two years ago that Microsoft was abandoning Money and the personal financial software market, I kept on using it, dreading the day that I would switch to Quicken.  That day came last month.  The conversion did not go well, even though I balanced and reconciled all of my accounts before converting my Money file to Quicken.  While my checking account balance was correct, my savings account balance was somehow negative $4,378.89 instead of the positive balance I have!  NEGATIVE! So, I consider Quicken as unusable, unworthy, and a waste of money. Please Bill Gates, please, bring Microsoft Money back!
