Following the journey of a five-dollar bill through many transactions, the film shows how money functions as a standard of value and future payment, a storehouse of value and a convenient medium of exchange.

All money in circulation today is counterfeit (and hence, worthless) since it is not issued by the government, but by a private banking institution called the Federal Reserve (which is no more "federal" than Federal Express), and is not backed by either gold or silver.

The dollar should be backed by gold...and IT ISNT! Time to wake up and smell the tyanny!!!!

@lucifursam although when this film was made, the U.S. was still on the gold standard. It was bullshit that FDR made it illegal to hold gold bars and confiscated gold held by private individuals to be added to the U.S. gold reserve.

I'd rather have the 10,000 cents than the $100 bill. It'll always have some intrinsic value.
