dollar hats

Quick, this may be a once-in-a-lifetime event! I've had a CAPITALISTIC IDEA! You and i (assuming you're a hat manufacturer) must market a product called the dollar hat. It combines two prime idiot loves, fashion and money, so of course it will be a huge seller in this spiritual wasteland. The design of the hat is very similar to a baseball cap. In both the crown and the bill, there is a slot covered by clear plastic, into which you slide and display paper money. The standard dollar hat will of course have a dollar, but people's personalities will be expressed by their choice of currency. Pretentious assholes will try to outdo each other with higher denominations, but more impressive will be the caps that display rare bills (the $2, or a Wilson), old bills (ones from the wearer's year of birth will be quite popular), or foreign bills (how hip would it be to wear Chinese paper pennies?). As a by-product, penny loafers may come back into vogue. Sorry. I hereby datestamp copyright this idea, in a manner which is blogistically and otherwise legally binding. Send the contracts, please.
