Ever since it stopped making pennies it’s made no cents.

The rivers are clear and teeming with silver salmon, the sick and elderly are cared for with respect and attention, people are free to study and enjoy their chosen pasttimes, dignified and sanitary housing is available to all, forest flourish, and the streets are filled with the sound of children laughing.
