As paper money was poured out by the Congress it fell rapidly in value: in 1779 one paper dollar was worth only two or three cents in specie. Attempts to stabilize it were futile; it slipped almost steadily downward into the abyss, until at length there was no term of contempt so espressive as "not worth a continental". (Ch. Beard and M. Beard, ‘The Rise of American Civilization’, ch. VI) — Конгресс выпускал множество бумажных денег, и они быстро обесценивались: в 1779 году один бумажный доллар стоил только два или три золотых цента. Все попытки стабилизировать доллар терпели неудачу. Доллар скатывался все ниже и ниже. Дело дошло до того, что не было более презрительного выражения, чем "не стоит и бумажного доллара".
So if you're planning to stay in Australia, and you're not worth a zac, you won't make any friends. (J. O'Grady, ‘Aussie English’) — Так вы решили остаться в Австралии. Человек вы никудышный, и друзей у вас не будет, не надейтесь.
