The story of stealing the .003 cents from each account was the premise of the movie Superman 3. If I remember correctly, Richard Pryor was hired to distribute payroll checks at the bank and discovered this error and exploited it.

Now since jbuck knew so much about this system, I now wonder what he did with all that money?
There must be a secret underground vault filled with Ike dollars.
Now that you guys know too much, expect a knock at the door soon!

I hear tell that on a full moon, a provoked Ike becomes the dreaded FrankenIke! The FrankenIke (sometimes called FranklinIke) works to confuse member's of Generation Y, misleading them with false information on their nation's history!

Waaaaaaayyyy ahead of you there buddy !
You see, I've already prepared for that.......I've put cloves of garlic all aroung the house, therefore preventing the full moon transformation !
I have a Kryptonite nugget as well, just to be on the safe side ! (in case the transformation occurs, despite my precautions, I can use that to turn it back!)

What's more...they discovered electricity...and they know how to use it! All combined, a vault of FrankenIkes becomes a formidable adversary--not even a silver bullet stops them--but only increases their deadly conductivity.

Eaglefoot, all attempts to control the transformation are futile! Your only hope is to send every Ike to me to be properly contained and secured!

It's obvious that if the Federal People are watching this forum and reading this post, there are a few individuals that better not be working in a bank. Or in any place where a money is accountable.
If you guys do work in a bank, please let me know which one so I can go there and clost my accounts.

Only $.06? WOW. Here in Illinois we now have a 10.25% sales tax and in Chicago it is now 10.50%. Rounding up or down is of little help around here.

People who are so concerned they might be charged an extra 2¢ on $100 worth of groceries need to look at a sales tax chart. Our rate is 6.25%, so a 98¢ purchase has 6.125¢ tax, always rounded UP to 7¢. 200 such purchases would have $12.50 in tax, but the tax charged was $14.00.
