Money to burn
We’ve begun to publish a series of stories on the impact of inflation on Oklahomans. Burning currency, we thought, would nicely illustrate the concept of how rising prices are eroding our buying power. Of course, we could have used the magic of Photoshop to create a burning bill, but the question was raised: can we just torch a twenty?
Nope. Can’t do it — not legally anyway.
If you feel the need to light up some currency, here’s a video that claims to show a non-destructive way to do it. I can’t vouch for this, so I would probably experiment with something smaller than a $50 bill.
