8:05

Weird. okay moving on to your line

8:07

I nine million what's your name

8:09

and where you calling from Mining from

8:11

New York City? nice I see is

8:14

spidey sense for as give that super

8:16

think you. Who are

8:18

I like this question. Coupons are

8:20

the best. Cool story. Once I

8:23

used a coupon to get twenty

8:25

five pounds of can lima beans

8:27

for a mere three dollars blow.

8:30

That sounds like a great deal. I also

8:32

didn't realize that you like to lima beans

8:34

so much. As the years I don't but

8:36

it was such a good deal I couldn't pass

8:38

it up. Speaking of which, good deal for me.

8:40

But. Seems like a bad the over the

8:43

stores. Why would the grocery store want to

8:45

sell me something so desirable as can lima

8:47

beans for so little money? That's

8:49

a good point. Okay, let's call

8:51

of someone who might know the

8:53

answer. like Franklin Saudis marketing professor

8:56

at U. C L Okay, Presents

9:01

an expert in Ryan from Million Two Million.

9:03

We are so glad you ended your phone

9:05

where I live radio answering some questions. And

9:07

we need your help. You have a course. Are

9:09

we got Max here on the line

9:12

and he wants to know why do

9:14

stores giveaway coupons. So. Basically

9:16

stores will give out to bonds to

9:18

their customers when they want their customers

9:20

to buy more of something. Maybe you

9:23

have too many other certain products and

9:25

if you give people a coupon to

9:27

give them a little bit of a

9:30

discount. Then. They're

9:32

more likely to buy. Okay, so

9:34

you're saying that lima beans may

9:36

not have been flying off the

9:39

store shelves and that's actually why

9:41

the stores were giving the coupons

9:43

away. Interesting, huge, if true. Another

9:45

situation that is pretty common is

9:48

Sores will offer coupons on new

9:50

products. so for introducing a new

9:52

flavor owes something and or flavor

9:54

of juice. And you

9:57

want to encourage people to try

9:59

it? Ah, Okay, so you

10:01

make it costs less En el,

10:03

really learn those on the fence

10:05

oscars to try something new. Overweight.

10:07

It. Kind of feels like the

10:10

stores are giving away free money. The.

10:12

Reason why they're part of a giving

10:14

away free money is that they know

10:17

consumers and general like saving money. And.

10:19

So they're sort of like Pamela give you

10:21

a discount like in that license which include

10:23

and their goal is now that you will

10:26

continue to buy their products and pay full

10:28

price for that thing once we take away

10:30

the coupon. Oh that reminds me

10:32

of how I found my local favorite Thai

10:34

restaurants are. They left a coupon outside my

10:37

door a few months back and I decided

10:39

to try it and it turns out they

10:41

make a mean Tom Yum soup. I actually

10:44

go there for dinner once a week now.

10:49

Okay so I guess the answer to Max

10:51

as question is it's all about trying to

10:53

convince customers to buy a certain item that

10:56

they wouldn't try out if the price wasn't

10:58

a little lower I guess is this didn't

11:00

work companies as wouldn't do it. Or

11:02

thanks for calling in such a great question Max

11:04

I love your streamer by the way. So now

11:07

we need a pause for a short break when

11:09

we come back. More answers to your questions. Who

11:12

bridget I am? I think I'm getting the hang of

11:15

this. I don't feel like I'm gonna barf all over

11:17

the entire studio anymore. Was. Ryan

11:19

Your one time I barked so much

11:21

on the school bus, the school had

11:24

to sell that bus they could no

11:26

longer use and the entire bus anymore

the symbol for the U S Dollar.

14:07

A capital less with a vertical line

14:09

through it. Of honestly by I

14:11

measure our.that ways s richer than the

14:13

other letters in the alphabet. Maybe it's

14:15

we need to talk to another expert

14:17

on the line for some help. Oh,

14:19

I have an idea. There's a money expert at

14:21

the Smithsonian and we talked to her few times

14:24

about why many looks the way it does. I

14:26

bet you know the answer. Let me to see

14:28

if I can pull of her contact info. Hold

14:30

on Ryan, press a button or something. Losers

worst thing that can happen

14:39

on radio. Absolute and pure

14:41

science. Ah,

14:45

The more just make the situation even scarier

14:47

Flow when I got it. ah of I'm

14:49

aware that are here. Here's a joke from

14:51

one of our listeners. Why does

14:53

a boy he is pass? Because

14:55

it was as many. As

15:05

okay here's a number: Doctor Alan Feingold

15:07

She's a curator of the National Numismatic

15:09

Collection at the Smithsonian to see cities,

15:11

coins, and other types of money and

15:13

I'm sure she can help us answer

15:15

Silas is questions only now. Oh thank

15:17

goodness I'm out of buttons. Tail

15:20

and it's pretty for million bazillion. I'm here

15:23

with my cohost, Ryan Ireland, a guy spacey

15:25

hear from you when you sell. Well, we're

15:27

doing a million bazillion so line on the

15:29

radio now and we're hoping he can help

15:31

us answer a question about the history of

15:33

the Dollars symbol. Live audio now with people

15:36

listening. Are listener and longtime fan.

15:38

Silas wants to know why the dollar

15:40

symbol is and s with a line

15:42

through it. That's such a great class

15:44

and I think we really don't. Know exactly where

15:46

it came from. Are you Are

15:48

you Kidding me? Ellen? And that

15:51

has last a lot of space

15:53

for people to develop various theories

15:55

about the origins of the dollar

15:57

sign and what sort of colonial.

16:00

Connections The Modern. Dollar might

16:02

have. Oh. Cool. It's like a

16:04

money mystery. So what are the theories? The.

16:07

First theory is that pay

16:09

So the Spanish. Silver Coin. The

16:11

only way to say we're talking about the

16:13

American Dollar of why would Spanish dollars have

16:16

anything to do with anything. When

16:18

American colonists. First came

16:20

to America. they didn't have

16:22

like an American. Currency: Said

16:24

use whatever they. Thought that was

16:26

in the colonies in the America

16:28

so that be beaver pelts. Native

16:30

American one Phone. Nails.

16:33

Cannonball, any really any things that

16:35

could be useful in exchange. Became

16:37

part of the colonial economy. Wow, What a

16:40

free for all that has anything to be

16:42

used as money If someone was willing to

16:44

accept it, But. One of

16:46

the most important currency is of

16:49

the colonial economy in the Americas

16:51

was the Spanish Silver Dollar, also

16:53

known as the Peso or piece

16:56

of eight eight Realtime. This

16:58

became the world's. First global

17:00

currency. It was used a

17:02

round the world and it

17:04

was incredibly significant in driving

17:06

on the colonial economy and

17:08

other economies At that time. The

17:11

silver dollar the Spanish pay

17:13

would have been considered a very

17:15

desirable currency. Oh, the World's

17:17

first global currency or a

17:19

celebrity currency of you will.

17:21

So. Our first American silver

17:24

dollars. Minted in the Philadelphia Mint

17:26

and Seven, Ninety Four were based

17:28

on the Spanish Silver dollars. Similar

17:30

fate similar size. It's very easy

17:33

when you. Look at the two objects next

17:35

to each other to see that the. Us

17:37

system is based on the Spanish

17:39

quiet. Okay, so the first

17:41

American dollars were basically like. Playing.

17:44

Dress up as Spanish silver dollars.

17:46

That's a twist. And. The

17:48

Spanish. Silver Coin The peso is abbreviated

17:50

p. S and the P in

17:52

the ass sort of emerge into one

17:55

symbol which is the eventually the dollar

17:57

sign said the as as clear and

17:59

then. The kind of loses it's Sapolu.

18:01

play by the keeps the straight lines. Ah,

18:04

I see if you smash and S

18:06

and a p together and squint. sort

18:08

of us hundred dollar signs. So we

18:10

wanted the dollar sign to look like

18:12

the peso sign. Got it. The. Second

18:14

theories is that because Spanish

18:16

silver dollars were worth eight

18:19

ryals, the number of Fate

18:21

is seen as that potentially

18:23

the origins in the ass

18:25

of a third of the

18:27

dollar sign. Of pace of

18:29

those ryals are the currency of colonial era

18:31

Mexico Mexico at this time and so maybe

18:33

18:36

supposed to be like a weird look in

18:38

a okay, that's a fine theory. And.

18:40

Then the third theory which is

18:42

my for some paper theory is

18:44

that the. Dollar sign. It comes

18:46

from the design on the Spanish Sovereign

18:48

our hang on. I'm googling the Spanish

18:50

Silver Dollar now and yeah, okay I

18:53

18:55

column or a pillar on either side.

18:57

18:59

and it's it's. sort of looks like

19:01

19:25

new panel of somber book with. Whom

19:31

he wants to get fooled again. Alright,

19:37

20:15

If we ever do a live radio show again,

20:17

we are not having it on the same day

20:19

as any other notable public media live call-in shows

20:21

whose numbers are one digit off from our own.

20:24

Okay, well at least now we

20:26

20:46

20:48

Uh, Francisco,

20:51

I'm so sorry. How embarrassing

20:53

for us. But we didn't actually

20:55

get to answer Francisco's question the first time around,

20:57

so let's do it. To be fair,

20:59

it was early. We weren't warmed up yet. And, you know, we're still

21:01

getting the lay of the land here in the studio. I

21:04

think we're ready to tackle the question now. Maybe we need

21:06

to phone a friend for this one, too? Well,

21:09

we are at Marketplace World Headquarters. Somebody

21:11

in this office must know a thing

21:13

or two about the economy. Oh,

21:15

yes. Okay, let's get out of the booth and see

21:17

who at Marketplace World Headquarters can answer this for us.

22:25

By the way of a were doing a

22:27

live broadcast of Million Bazillion and are we

22:29

need some help answering a question about the

22:31

economy? I can you help us out with

22:33

us? Sure but gotta walk with me now

22:35

because I go live in two minutes and

22:37

I still have to print the script. Okay,

22:40

so one of our listeners wants to

22:42

know how the economy works in two

22:44

minutes or less? Housing the answer that?

22:46

well, So look when people say

22:48

the economy. What they really

22:50

mean. Is. People specifically, all

22:52

of the people making things and

22:55

all of the people buying and

22:57

selling those things so law like

22:59

people making for instance said delicious

23:01

looking artisan sandwich for example or

23:03

and the guy running the storm

23:06

And so the artist and sandwiches

23:08

And the people who end up

23:10

buying those arts and sandwiches exactly.

23:14

And those things can be either goods

23:16

like the sandwiches you mentioned or this

23:18

printer. Or they can be services like

23:21

a haircut or skinless. All of

23:23

that making and all of that buying

23:25

and selling together makes up a country

23:27

or or regions A ton of aiding

23:29

By the way, Surf Has anyone ever

23:31

told you you kind of sound like

23:33

Federal Reserve Chair J. Power. Okay,

23:35

that's how does the economy

23:37

work. Thirty. Seconds time.

23:39

Sorry that's my to gotta go but hey Amy's

23:41

in the office today my own as her. Ask

23:44

me less Amy Scott Long time marketplace

23:46

in your for sun and house. It's

23:48

good to see you hiring. A

23:50

listener wants to know how the a comedy

23:53

works. I mean out the a was hundred

23:55

me work. I mean I'd how the how

23:57

the economy works at low I'm actually on

23:59

my. The outskirts I can tell

24:01

me on my way to the

24:03

elevator. So when we don't understand

24:05

the economy is to look at

24:07

the way household spend money. Households

24:09

are basically another way to say

24:11

a group of people who live

24:13

together and share money and money.

24:15

Decision making households are actually small

24:17

pieces of the larger. Economy order

24:20

many. Economists? Yeah like that.

24:22

See, I guess it's up to our spouses.

24:26

Each. Household has money they

24:28

earn and money they spend.

24:31

So. A parent might go to

24:33

work to earn money, and then

24:35

they use that money to buy

24:37

food or pay a pet sitter

24:39

or other things the family needs

24:41

and the kids might do chores

24:43

around the house and in exchange

24:45

they earn an allowance. And

24:48

when all those individual actions add up

24:50

together with gives us a bigger picture

24:53

of what the economy as a whole

24:55

is doing and why? Oh okay so

24:57

it's that movement that flow of all

25:00

that money and goods and services as

25:02

individual choices were all making with our

25:04

money. That. The economy? Yeah,

25:07

exactly. Does that help answer your

25:09

question? Does. Thank.

25:11
