foam egg carton

What manner of single use plastic hell is this?!
- For the love of gaia, try some cardboard. It literally grows on trees!
  
  Before this post, I've never seen egg cartons that weren't just some sort of cardboard.
Let's see if they float!
- They're hard boiled, so I might joke around with folks for the next few days or so...
- They're not ducks..
  
  Who are you who is so wise in the ways of science?
Hold. In a week you'll have $7
I will give you a really nice hat for the $5. Like REALLY nice
- No sale, but thanks for the offer 👍
  
  But it was worn by Mr. Werberjegermanjensen. He was #1!
5 genuine United States dollars

  This is good for eggcoin.
Good thing you wrote the value on the eggs so even americas get it.
The chicken that laid the ~~golden~~ eggs.
The entire plot of the Jack London story "The One Thousand Dozen" from The Faith of Men pivots on eggs being $1 apiece
Jokes aside I find it interesting that the US still uses paper money
- Okay. May I ask what countries don't?
  
  I mean even if it's falling out of favor, still, I have not heard of any countries to completely abandon paper cash.
  
  I believe they meant that they are surprised our banknotes aren’t made of plastic or a more durable material as Canadian dollars are - rather than the other possible interpretation, referring to a cashless economy.
  
  Many countries are transitioning from paper money for example the UK, Australia have somewhat eliminated paper currency. There is more but I can’t think off the top of my head and I do have multiple foreign notes that are not paper.
  
  Edit: Canada, Vietnam, New Zealand, Brunei, Maldives, Vanuatu, Mauritania, Nicaragua, Romania….
  
  All have either switched or are transitioning into polymer money, there is more but that’s just to name a few. I think it’s interesting what type of currency other countries use.
  
  China doesn't, but yeah, what could go wrong with the authoritarian government tracking every transaction you make
Hard boiled currency.
