BUBBLE BEN
How have the mighty fallen...
100-dollar Ben (the most frugal of the founding fathers!) was once the go-to guy, the face in demand at every black market in Asia, but has now fallen in value to such an extent that he is not only less desired by back-alley street corner money changers, but has been turned by a Japanese toy company into a soapy parody, a currency bubble bath no less, as a 1000-dollar bill that is nothing but bubbles, popping all over the world...I remember when a hundred-dollar bill was really worth a hundred real dollars, and reality in general was still pretty common...
