On: What Happens When You Try to Photoshop Money

[jimlei]

I would download a car, a handbag, a television and a ten dollar bill if I could.

edit: just kidding - I'd probably download a parking lot worth of cars

If we could download cars, handbags, and televisions like we can pictures of ten dollar bills, we might not need any more ten dollar bills...

And RAM.

I download ram all the time: http://downloadmoreram.com/

I'd download all the rest, but not money. The reason being that the money will exchange for things of greater value than the work you spent on manufacturing the banknotes; while, when it's possible to download and manufacture a car at home, the car will have the same value as the work you spent on making it. In short, making your own money screws the economy; making your own cars doesn't.
