More Description"Can I interest you in saving America?" That's the text message that Peter Fallon receives from a Wall Street bigwig. It's not a challenge he can turn down, especially since the country is in the midst of a financial crisis. The stock market is wobbling. The Chinese have stopped buying our T-Bills. And if we don't get control of our deficit, our economic future looks grim. Hidden somewhere in New York City is a box of 1780 bonds with a face value of ten thousand dollars, part of a series of bonds called New Emission Money. And the Supreme Court is about to render a decision on whether they are still backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. If so, a hundred 1780 dollars, at five percent interest, will be worth seven million four hundred thousand today. But how can that box of bonds save America and its financial system?
