Before they were selling these for a $1 with free shipping. No one wanted them. Solution - raise the price and tack on shipping fees. This lesson on economics brought to you by the US Mint, a monopoly that sells it's most popular products for less than the cost of raw materials every day.

Mr Harkin, who is from a farming state (Iowa), should know that a dollar bill is made primarily from a crop (Cotton), not cutting down trees.

And the funny part he should know that the coin blanks for the dollar coins come from PMX a Poongsan Corporation affiliate who is South Korean Company . The dollar notes come from Crane Currency Based in Sweden. Then some of that money is loaded into Loomis Trucks and they a based in Sweden to. God Bless the USA. We outsource are money too.

not only that but the more you buy the higher the price. You can get 100 for 111. 11 bucks more. 250 for 275 25 bucks more. and 500 for 550 50 bucks more. but they got it priced that if you buy 5 of the 100 you pay more than buying 500 at 550. same thing with the 250

Harkin isn't wrong. The dollar bill is made of paper, just not wood-based paper.

Let the Thomistic ontological arguments over the essence, form, and nature of "paper" begin!
