When he died he had $310 billion.

Visited the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery with Sarah today. Apparently people like to leave cash on Andrew Carnegie's grave. Because if there's anyone you should be giving money to, it's a dead rich person.

    Sometimes I stop and think about how the world’s largest economy just stopped being able to be distribute such a widely used denomination of currency last year, has shown no signs of solving the problem and no one seems to think it as odd.

    :yea:

      Have we not been able to distribute quarters? I haven't heard about that.

        Yep. That was the coin shortage, which apparently hasn't really been fixed. We had a shortage of $50 notes in Canada due to hoarding, but that was sort of a temporary thing as people started carrying more cash on them at a given time. It's long been fixed.
