The dollar bill is a funny thing because it represents so much, but really it is not much. It is simply a rectangular sheet of paper. It is extremely thin and flimsy. It can also be very easily ripped and becomes a weird texture when it get wet. The coloring of the dollar bill is a dark green or gray. Another aspect of the dollar is the face of the man in the middle, the varying pictures on the other side, and the large number printed many times. The face and number represent how much the piece of paper is worth. The other numbers on the dollar are to avoid counterfeit. There are also many patriotic sayings on the bill to show pride for our country. Lastly there is the year that the dollar was produced which is always interesting and informative.
Though these different kinds of cents are used for the same purpose as the dollar bill, their appearance is very different. These coins may be worth less, but really they are more permanent then the dollar. These coins are all made of medal, some copper some nickel, and many other kinds. Once the metal in shaped in the right size, amount corresponds to size and metal type, they are all formed into a circle. Quarters are even given ridges. After the initial shape is present, each different coin is stamped with a different president's profile and on the other side a different picture. Some coins are even specific to certain states and have a picture specific to that state on the back. After that, the amount of the coin is printed, a quote about America, and lastly the year of production.
