I made a pot of coffee ☕ in percolator and then cooled it in the sink and put it in the freezer to make it cold. While not super hot today, I kind of prefer my coffee cold this time of year. On iced coffee per se with all the sugar but still cold and refreshing with milk 🐮 is always good.

On this day in 1969, the $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 bills are officially withdrawn from circulation. 💵 After this date, if you wanted to buy a large purchase in cash or bribe a politician, you needed a lot of hundred dollars in bills. They had last been printed in 1945, and were finally dropped from circulation in 1969, in part as an effort to reduce corruption and money scams. 👔 I just remember that time I was walking during lunch and two men were handing off a big stack of hundred 💯 dollar bills 💰in an alleyway. I’m sure they were just buying a car or something and it wasn’t some mid level bureaucrat taking a bribe. Shit doesn’t happen like that in Albany, which is America’s most ethical capital.
