Treasury Department Issues Emergency Recall Of All US Dollars

[SinCinnatiBrooke]

Hahaga

[ArtypNk]

Do we keep coins?!?

[MrBigEnchilada]

it's called taxes..they want moreeeee

[TheYouwontgetit]

i remember that crisis... ...i am glad it is now behind us...

[dadevi]

LULZ

[Joxman2k]

OMG! does this apply to US coins as well!! They were all made at the same place, Fort Worth, is there cross contamination too!

Thank God for ONN bringing us safety information like this. You know it is pretty bad when they wont allow questions!

:)

:P

[rammar09]

LOLs "Puke UP Yur Guts n DIE" Oh that wuz JUSTOOMUCH hehehe

[pesadilla143]

Is this any different that what is actually going on?

[s46d45m17]

this seems so real because I think it is.

[bob8999999]

i will take my chances

[md9751]

Regardless of the reasons why the Gold and Silver Standard were gone, We need the GOLD AND SILVER STANDARD BACK!!!!! ALL THAT MONEY IS FIAT WE USE TODAY, ALTHOUGH WE ONLY STILL USE IT BECAUSE WE NEED IT TO SURVIVE BUT HAS NO REAL VALUE...AND BRING BACK UNITED STATES NOTES THAT BENEFIT THE PPL OF THE USA!!

[ancientwisdom2012]

@md9751 i have to disagree. watch this film to see why a gold standard will not solve the problem. "The Money Masters" They talk specifically about the gold standard in the last 45 minutes or so.

[SuperFifthwheel]

@ancientwisdom2012 Actually it will, but the country is going to have to quit living so lavishly and acting more responsibly. The massive debts were created from the nixon shock, our money was considered more fundamentlly stable before this. Plus it will prevent the government from debt and deficit spending, because the wont be able to borrow from themselves. Switzerland has a currency standard set on precious metals and its the most stable economy in the world and makes great products.

[ancientwisdom2012]

@SuperFifthwheel you should watch the film

[PHAEDRIDER]

holy shit! THAT WAS FUNNY !

[giggilamour]

LOL!

[zekehooper]

This is funny, but true.

[timytim4prez]

This would be funny but for the fact that this is almost an accurate assessment of the value of the dollar. (I know its onion, its fake news)

[bmacdonald1000]

Why does everyone argue on youtube comment sections, if you don't like what someone said just scoff at them and move on with your life. There truly is no need for philisophical or sociological debates in youtube comment sections.

[senhorengenheiro]

@bmacdonald1000 that is a very silly comment.

[dbfan2scfan]

@bmacdonald1000

It's b/c I have a 4in dick and my wife is flat chested and I just really need to make up something to argue about!

[SonRolo]

meh... not the onion's best

[hpw59]

Just started reading "The Creature from Jekyll Island" Recommend it to everyone if you want to see how we are being SCREWED by the FED.

[hpw59]

I have a better idea.......convert your cash to gold and silver before the dollar collapses.

[ClaasStoertebeker]

@hpw59 The U.S. has not had a Treasury since 1921 (41 Stat. Ch. 214 pg. 654)

[eatmytool1]

@ClaasStoertebeker ...nazi

[ClaasStoertebeker]

@eatmytool1 ... well thank you... not that i am ... on the other hand i do think that you have no idea ... what you are talking about.

well - in the near future there will be some changes... and as fare as i know... some better find hole to hide in!

what do you think - pinki? ;)

[eatmytool1]

@ClaasStoertebeker ...nazi

[Tw1St3DSt33L]

@hpw59 or, in a more depressing way, invest it in weapons and supply's

[Now2011]

To those who don't get the Friday at noon part. That's the time the Wall Street closes on the last day it is open that week

[aaronscrewme]

Did anybody else's heart skip a beat when they read the title?

[itspeaks037]

United States Department of the Treasury - people move coins around what would this be ?

[TheMagicHikaru]

great parody with a deep meaning!!!^^

[Ghettobusters2]

UPDATE: I am the officially elected person that you are to send your U.S currency to due to this recall. Do not wait for the bag to come in the mail.

Your Government is again sorry for this incontinence of ALL of your U.S. currency being recalled.

Send ALL of your currency to me for burning.

U.R. Asucker

P.O. BOX 666

Pennsylvania Ave

Washington D.C.

Actually just BRING it in. We do not trust the Post Office

[yavin99]

all this time i thought the onion only reported fake news

[DarkMonkArt]

Finaly the Government is being strait forward and forthright with us.



[ChanWoem]

>.>

[MrSafetymeeting]

I still haven't gotten my bag,what should I do with a my cash?

[Daroga1]

@MrSafetymeeting Give it to me, i have extra bags!

[MrSafetymeeting]

@Daroga1 The cash is in the mail.

[axt947]

Let me guess, the printers were made in China?

[ltmikepowell]

@axt947 U.S. Dollar print by China? A national currency to be printed by foreign country? Unreal, buddy.

[JvillnEnt]

jus listen2 me and send and send n ur money lmfao

[akaskyscraper]

good thing i don't carry cash! lol.

[jamieblond1]

Thank God that the government is watching over us. We could get seriously ill from the toxins if we don't comply.

Btw, I went to the bank today.....I got too many dollars to fit into that bag. Can we get more bags?

[Bearkiller777]

LOL.....not too far off from the truth...it's called Taxes...you pay them and you never see the money again and its probably goes down into a black hole where you never see it again.....and the money you make is taxed and thus more is poured into a black hole..i want to see where all the TAX money goes to reasonable purposes for ONCE---comon we don't need fancy things people...

[StrumTheStrings]

Headline should be: Treasury Spokesman Ronald Schuler Needs Money for Uncontrollable Crack Addiction

[cactuschris2002]

Obamas solution

[TheOverItFellow]

Hey that's wierd. How come they've stolen British policy?! Except ours has a £ on it. Well, if I do get my sack.

[squidb8]

Wow, I'm sending all mine today!! Oh wait I don't have any, damn.

[diamondeyes917]

lmao ha

[chillllling]

Funny, but so true, the way the government is spending taxpayers money, and destroying the money, literally.

[manrightchea]

I really think humanity would be better off if all currency was done away with, and your quality of life was determined by your merit as a citizen. Christ wasn't a fan of rich men anyway if you'll recall. They are in actuality satanists. Camels&needles anyone?

[GameRecorderZ]

@manrightchea Not everyone in the world or america believes in god or Jesus. And however good idea you have, it just wouldn't work. AT ALL. It's more impossible than time travel. And i don't really give a shit about who Christ saw was good. Bunch of Bull Shit.

[allwittynamestaken]

@manrightchea being successful and working hard doesn't make you evil

[newave123456]

@allwittynamestaken being greedy and getting rich at the expense of others does.

[allwittynamestaken]

@newave123456 so Bill Gates and Steve Jobs got rich at the expense of others? here I was thinking that they made quite a few advances in the field of technology. silly me =D

[newave123456]

@allwittynamestaken Steve jobs sent manufacturing jobs to china. If you own anything from apple, you will notice it gets shipped from china and bill gates stole technology in order to become rich. But silly me for thinking being honest and doing whats best for society is more important. Oh and the group of scientists who invented the internet knew it was best to give it to the world for free. But God forbid people do the "right thing".

[allwittynamestaken]

@newave123456 so your saying if they don't help america specifically that they didn't do what's "right"? regardless of whether they did it for money or not that doesn't mean that the contributions they made were ANY less important. if you have a reply please just message me. I feel like a dick taking up comment space on a satire video.

[ZaterMartian3]

@manrightchea too bad Jesus was only a person, not some sort of savior. Religion is a falsity designed to ease the fear people have at their own ignorance. Enjoy watching me "burn in hell" as I'm sure you'll start flaming at me for pointing this out.

[manrightchea]

@ZaterMartian3 In many ways I agree, I have nothing against people having religion, as long as they realize that no deity controls every facet of your existence. My problem is in the hypocrisy of it, to claim to be a "devout Christian" for example yet be greedy, prejudiced, shallow, snobbish,materialistic, racist, sexist etc, and I'm not even Christian.

[ZaterMartian3]

@manrightchea My respect for you just skyrocketed. Thanks for not flaming.

[eurasianchica]

@manrightchea You can't be a Christian without believing that God controls every aspect of your existence. Being "devout" doesn't mean you are not a bad person. All people are sinners, including every Christian, no matter how "devout". It's not hypocrisy.

[Slaught1004]

ONION!!

both funny and wise...

Bow down to onion

[lesterclaypool1]

thank goodness i thaught monkey was always a chocking hazard

[WarCollider]

In a crazy turn of events I have bought the proper facilities for destroying the money.

So, if you will all send the money to me, I will work quickly to rid you of it.

[reodk]

@ WarCollider Wow...what a true patriot, the rest of you can learn from Mr. WarCollider, as the rest of your unpatriotic asses makes me sick.

[heeropat]

holy crap

why am i fully confident we would try something like that

(im not jokeing)

[yourselff900]

@funkytripper its fake u know

[dorgaorfa]

this is fake numbnuts

[OSUfan5859]

ur retarded

[MyFaceHole]

"That's just the tip of the ice cube."

[godscuttingyoudown]

allot of people don't get the joke

the federal reserve is basically robbing you, instead of a gun they are using a bullshit fear that the money is deadly then you fill up the bag so they can make a quick getaway to Switzerland

[Manofaction0]

"There is no reason to panic or review those old laws because I just told you that it's true."

Nice.

[boxorak]

What I don't get is why it happens at noon on friday.

[d2pwow]

Because then it wouldn't make the week's new cycle. It's a parody of why politicians always release news that may be incindiary on Friday.

[octavian2006]

Would have been funnier if it wasn't so close to some of the proposals currently being discussed now in Davos. Resistance to CHANGE and I'm not talking civil disobedience. Wholesale devaluation; watch this space.

Olim habeas eorum pecuniam, numquam eam reddis

[nikelaosspqr]

@codewarrior05 - can you post a link to an article about that? i kinda wanna read up on it - very disturbing, btw - feel bad for all those people

[codewarrior05]

Really ironic that North Korea did something just like this

[FreeAgain2]

They won't be the last country. . .

[Fendertastic]

TOMORROW:

What money recall?!? Hmm? Sorry this mike must be broken.

Next question.

[caccycacman]

They didn't give an address?

[trombonemaniac]

{wink, wink} --- the government will take care of that -----

[CeaseTheLife]

Stomach hurts like hell, but hey. Still got my cash.

[awarenessis]

That was in April. Good thing I had money trouble.

[Twiggymaster666]

I know this vid isn't real but why can I imagine Americans believing and actually doing this

[bretp99]

Oh my God! There's no time to waste! If you didn't get your bag, just take it to the nearest UPS store and they'll mail it to the US Treasury Dept FREE OF CHARGE.

[c2monke]

"there is no reason to review the old laws-because I just told you that it's true"

[Wikipunani]

The vid is a parody of the utter corruption, arrogance and greed of bureauctratic, anti-Capitalist governmental officials. Simple as that. Quite eloquent as well.

[Wikipunani]

*bureaucratic*

Truly ironic thing is, it wasn't until 2009 that Americans could imagine a governmental announcement such as this being seriously proposed.

How's the hopey dopey changy workin out for y'all

[EatmyDust1311]

wikipunani; arent you a 'merican as well? hows your hopy dopey changy working out for ya'lls sister/wife? stupid...

[bankjobBoB]

I dont get ihe joke. explane please?

[Dusty7280]

Damn I still didn't get my money bag in the mail.

[XxXJUSTCAUSEXxX]

lol, bail out for dummies.

[1FastfingersMcgee1]

lmao

[Xyrhoshii]

I feel sorry for that one person who actually send their money back to the Government.

[TheOtherBradBird]

It's all FIAT anyway. Money really isn't worth anything, it just has perceived worth.

[sbwpolo14]

Not even gold bullion? *sob*

[GeneralMazaki]

It doesn't matter whether it's actually worth anything. It's the only way to buy or produce. Money is very important to an economy.

Unless you want to go back to the days of nothing, but bartering.

[bmelnyk0]

Exactly, money is only worth what the government says its worth

[TheMrNamefag]

@TheOtherBradBird

Everybody knows that, it doesn't make that perceived worth any less valid.

[driverx241]

@TheOtherBradBird Unlike my shiny metal.

[waalkwriter]

lol, in light of the federal deficit reaching 800 billion, we are announcing a recall on all current printed by the us government

[Bez561]

this dye is really painful and you will puke up your own guts and die lol

[cyfuse]

This is funny because it is based on true events...

[afsoomaali]

Yeah lets get rid of money and just trade products with other products...and every person gets 5acres of land to build whatever they want...

[LigerZero83]

No its impossible to destroy money becuase it is against the law...

[GreenFighter]

you're an idiot, money is destroyed everyday and new ones are made everyday.

[LigerZero83]

Yea money is destroyed and renewd and everything, but it's against federal law to destroy money. Go up to a police officer and rip a dollar bill into shreds :)

[GreenFighter]

Nooooooo hahaha, no, as long as the money is yours you can do whatever you want with it. You earned it and now you can ingest anally if you'd like, nobody can stop you

[LigerZero83]

Lol ingest anally xD but yea.. My science teacher had to ask the governer to burn pennies with some acid :)

[laraesque]

"Defacement of currency is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code. Under this provision, currency defacement is generally defined as follows: Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note . . .with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 6months, or both." I'm thinking that ingesting it might make it unfit.

[Rabiddingo66]

hahahaha.

i looove ONN.

[TheOnlyWayHome]

Yeah, dude. I scratched a golden sacachwea this morning in a total act of defiance, and I'm still puking up guts!

[artsyalchemistthe2nd]

Haha...well, this would certainly get rid of the deficit..

[usha777]

this could be real new as of today, after all obama is after all your money any way he can get it.

[emptybuilding]

Roflmao!!!!  People think this is real!!!

[lanshrk1200]

aren't they going to be worried that people will start breaking into mailboxes to steal the bags of money?

[sm2142]

my thoughts exactly! i got a baseball bat myself....

[mandowarrior123]

no becasue criminals will return the money too xDD

[dkinnibu]

Oh and uhhhh, I'm the other place you send those bills!

[33dgtp]

....

[afriesmop]

Shred it, put it in a pipe and illegally smoke it.

Then hide before you get high.

If they find you, go into convulsions and do your income tax.

[OneTrueBaldo]

Hmm, what about discarding the toxic dollar altogether?

The current Dollar/Euro exchange rate is 1 : 1.40, and if Iceland is now petitioning the EU for membership because of toxic bonds overuse, I suppose that even the U.S. can do the same.

Heh...

[joeboi85]

I need to show this to my dumbass neighbor!

he'll be like "well i didnt get the money bag!!" i'll be like, "give it to me, i'll take care of it" :D

[CurryCurry]

if anyone cares, the music at the end of each O-SPAN is taken from Antonio Vivaldi's Sinfonia in C-Dur

[ArcaneDigital]

I care, that's actually cool that you knew that! +1

[joeboi85]

Thanks. It's a magnificent piece.

[TheVarine]

@CurryCurry ... why, I wondered that every time I heard it. It would come on, and I would be like "OH! This here is delightful!"

[ChonKrispyLA]

wait is this real? what poison is on the money

[Klappro]

u have got to be joking...

[gardnerbm]

sounds like taxes to me

[IHateWarmPickles]

gimme the loot gimme the loot im a bad bad man- Notorious B.I.G.

[pjblabla]

lol

[StephenJSheridan]

lol, they just want all our money....!!!!!

i mean who would fall for this?!

[14DMN]

lol!

[nEbErCrUcKer]

yes lucky me im only an immigrant lol!!yes no offense!!

[alfwynnxkioku]

OMG

We're all gonna die!

:o

[Mgjaggers]

If the government really did something like this, I'd laugh.

[umahuma4]

they have, in the 1919 panic and again in the 1929 stock market crash.

[ryancs1982]

i think within the next 5 years our monetary system will reach the breaking point. meaningless paper and we will be forced into a trading nation. food for clothes. work for food. social uphieval and anarchy. gangs clans and cults. everyone will be against the government and overthrow congress. the rich will fear the poor after maoney loses its value. lol

[Waidesama]

As much as I'd like to see that happen, you're an idiot if you really think it'll get to that point in 5 years. Rome declined in much the same way we are, and it took hundreds of years for their government to break down to that point.

[polkg123]

yeah but America will last as long as humans have sense of morals hay you know whats funny Americas the most religious country in the industrialized world

[iaysen]

I believe our monetary system reached the breaking point in early-to-mid 2008, which is why the Nintendo Wii was introduced to distract people from the impending economic collapse. By distracting people with such games as Halo 3, Left 4 Dead, and Guitar Hero 3, the government assumed people would pay more attention to the numbers in their video games than the rate of inflation.

[rockslideproductions]

i like the lol @ the end. are you actually an anarchist? because if you are, you're a fucking moron!

[Feindwarrior]

This doesnt make him an anarchist and I have to say the way our governemnt is headed reform and revolution are just around the corner. If there is one thing about the American people is we only take crap for so long. Im not saying it will be large scale chaos but The government will lose power or have to fight for it. bcuz for each person willing to stick with the government there are 3 people willing to overthrow it. Sad but tru If we dont get our act right its inevitable.

[Sidnapolis]

well said.

[specklyjim]

ryans1982 - i think youre extremely wrong , nostradumbass

heh.

[WindRider707]

maybe the government is spoofing the Onion . . . .wait . . . .ummm

[mygaboo]

Dangerously close to actual policy. With trillions in unfunded liabilities, I would not want to live in concentrated urban areas. Suggestion: learn how to garden. And fast.

[Obedience100]

hey smitthhyy u can send your money to me ill take care of it for you

[smitthhyy]

What time zone when the bills become dangerous?

:)

[bboyTanel]

Best Onion News EVER! :D

[CenkoFett]

well, if i look at my goverment (FRG/BRD) the onion news could be real :)

i love the satire here, cuz they're always so damn close to the reality and the topics are so epic

[SwornReaper]

sound like goverments can even pull a prank on people, (this is just an example, i know stuff from Onion, ok), but you say that it's a mistake but with me, it's a prank and it fools me.

[eoldfiel]

I never found the bag in the mail. What should I do?

[Zoowey07]

...

[12ohan]

You're screwed. Absolutely screwed.

[jmoose311]

I heard something about this yesterday, but I don't get it. Are they going to reimburse our money after the recall, once new money is printed? Can I just take my money to the bank and have them take care of it, while ensuring I still have enough in my account, at least? I have bills to pay.

[Truthabout911]

Yeah send it to:

1234 Dumb shit Ave.

Retard, CA 123456

[DachampsterStudios]

LOL it's kinda fake... this is the ONION. A funny news show with fake reports.

[jmoose311]

I don't think you're right. Why would the government make a fake news report? My cousin in Wisconsin told me he got his bag, but I'm still waiting for mine.

[Zoowey07]

Dude. OMG you're stupid. This is a fucking joke. It's called "Onion" news, it's simply a comedy news network. If US Dollars were actually being recalled it would be one of the biggest news stories in history for fucks sakes man.

[IR0N360]

you mean its NOT real!? oh my goodness! i must retrieve my money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[14DMN]

"until you puke up your guts and die" lol priceless. I like that fact that someone thinks its real and 25 people have to comment on it.

[METALMAN4Wii]

ok to the idiots who think this is real if it was how would americans pay for stuff he said all money in circulation not some and even if you hade money in the bank you would have zero now and every company would go out of business also !
