Most EXPENSIVE YouTube Video EVER!

While I wouldn't be surprised if these young people were burning real FRNs, they could be color photocopies. That would be a good party stunt - make some copies of a $100 and in an "our money is almost worthless" conversation, pull out your copy and tear it in 8 pieces, or burn it.

Go ahead and protest this way if you wish, but do so informed:

Lead-based ink hasn’t been used to print currency since 1983, but the ink currently in use contains cadmium, mercury, and arsenic, according to Jerry Nelson, Information Officer at the Chicago Fed. “The Bureau of Engraving and Printing has been trying—in the five dollar denomination—more ecologically compatible soy-based ink compositions for decades without yet having achieved the useful lifespan necessary to comprise cost-effective elimination of the durable heavy-metal traditional ink,” Nelson said. This creates a paradox: more toxic ink increases the lifespan of bills and keeps them out of landfills longer. But, toxic ink also makes the eventual disposal of currency trickier.

In 2003 and 2004, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing introduced colorful new $20 and $50 bills, with similar plans for $10 and $100 bills. Peach and blue shades now complement the standard black and green ink. “Color-shifting” ink has been added for enhanced security.

According to an environmental assessment prepared by Potomac Hudson Engineering, Inc, these new inks contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can be highly carcinogenic.

it may not be so expensive in the future, depending upon what happens to the value of the dollar. During the worst of Gernany's hyperinflation of the 20s, one account reported that a German housewife found it more economical to actually burn Mark notes in her stove rather than use them to buy wood.
