*gets to use what he has learned in economics*

Money a while ago was dependant on gold as its backing. A certain number of currency was a certain ammout of gold. Now the American Dollar is feat (spelling?) meaning it is independant of any backing. It is a standard instead of gold.

a dollar is worth something because we let it be worth something. it's more or less official.
same reason why a comic book might be worth something because it's official. anyone get a copy of the story especially with the internet.
