A few years ago, New Zealand started making their paper money out of this plasticky stuff that is allegedly better than paper because it doesn't crease properly and will therefore, no matter how much you mash it into a wad, expand in your pocket and consume all available space. Excess pocket space was apparently a big problem down there, but here in America we have the more urgent matter of theft to contend with. I think we should start making our money out of cinder blocks. "Would you like that in small blocks or big blocks?" Nobody would try to steal cinder block money, and if they did they wouldn't be able to outrun the cops. You wouldn't lose money by inadvertently dropping it, because you'd hear the thud, and if dropping some cash damaged someone's property, you'd just leave it there to cover the costs. As an added bonus, we'd create jobs. Previously unemployed individuals could find work lugging money for the elderly and keep a percentage of it for their salary. Banks would save on armored trucks, too. The money could serve as its own armor.
