Do you have proof it's fake?

Definitely over a decade old. I remember seeing this around that time. http://www.snopes.com/humor/letters/hilliker.asp
There wasn't proof for or against it then either.
Sidenote, look at what else from over a decade ago is getting posted today: https://voat.co/v/news/1801043/8818674 . Hell of a coincedence.

fake? what? nooooooooo way..................... though it stinks of bs it still elicits an emotional response of indignation.

I hope this is fake. But notice the US stamping? Ayn Rand was confident that the dollar sign came from the convergence of U and S. Interesting to see it like that with the full U and not the _ truncated.

The dollar sign actually comes from a coin from the Holy Roman Empire called the Thaler which bore the inscription of a crucified snake.
