I know that "Coast to Coast AM" can be a place for a lot of loony bin whackos, but once in a while they do have an interesting guest.
Tonight at midnight central time, adjust your clocks accordingly, the first hour of the show will be an interview with David Ovason the author of "The Secret Symbols of the Dollar Bill".
The book gets overall good reviews on Amazon.
Anyway, I thought I'd give you all a heads up if you have nothing better to do tonight. Sounds like it might be worth a listen. The show is on over 600 stations nationwide so you should be able to find it wherever you are.
Couple of fact about the $1 bill:
* The first $1 notes featured a portrait of Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase (1861-1864).
* George Washington's portrait first appeared on $1 notes in 1869.
* $1 notes make up 45% of all money printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
* The life span of a new $1 note is 22 months.
* If you had 10 billion $1 notes and spent one every second of every day, it would take you 317 years to go broke.

"Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

No, Art hasn't done that show for over a year now, maybe closer to two. The host is a guy called George Noory. He has a voice that will put you to sleep, I call him George Snorey. When I am up late working at my desk I sometimes have it on in the background.
As I said, "sometimes" they do have an interesting guest.

Actually, no he didn't. I guess there might be some idiots that believe he did though. He hyped it and made alot of money from it, but since you seem to know it all, I would have thought you would already know that.
Clearly you have a problem. Tell you what, don't listen.

Before 2000 he said that planes will crash, the stock market will implode, banks will lose all their records... "so withdraw your money before New Year's 2000" & nuclear missiles will launch automatically. He even quit his job the last week in Nov. so he could "prepare for Doomsday."
He climbed out of his basement in Pahrump, NV & returned to Coast to Coast sometime in March 2000, claiming he saved the world by warning everyone to fix their computers before New Year's Day. He didn't last too much longer after that.
I listened to Coast to Coast for a while after Art Bell left, but finally gave up. I couldn't take all the nut case hosts that followed him.

<< <i>As a truck driver, I listened to him almost every night. (he kept me awake.) He believed there was a conspiracy in every shadow.

Wow! You are so mistaken on almost everything here it's hard to believe you ever listened. Art himself never said he believed all those things, it was his guests and Art got a cut on their book sales. He encouraged nutcases because it drew listeners and that meant money for him. His show was the only national show that stations got for free, art made his money from the % deal with his guests selling their snake oil. The stations got their money because they got to keep the local ad money. It was and still is a unique deal.
He left in Nov. of 99 due to the rape case. The teacher with aids who had raped his son, did you really listen? Art was in California most of that first "retirement" time in court getting that slimeball put away in prison and going throught the medical testing on his then 17 year old son. At that time there was a host named Mike something. He didn't have any basement shelter for Y2K, where are you getting this nonsense?
He never claimed to have saved the world from Y2K, though he had a regular guest, Gary North, who did take part of the claim and said Art was very helpful and shared in the responsibility. Art was laughing all the way to his bank as he was getting royalty cuts. He retired finally due to personal medical problems and since then there has only been ONE host to follow. The guy who still has the show. During what you call his first retirement, when he was actually testifying in a long court case, his website never came down. After his last retirement the website did disappear, he dropped the domain name and it is gone. You don't know about his medical problems, his assault charge against that teacher and the time spent getting that guy put away for raping several high school boys including Art's own son and you say you listened every night?
Ok, whatever. I hope you drive your truck with a little better attention to detail.
