I am so lucky to have the last name of Dollar because I can have almost endless fun with it and people kind of expect me to as well, a real "win-win" situation. So, after I met Joe Fonseca (JustJoePens) at the Baltimore Pen Show in 2023 we took the opportunity to fulfil his desire as a material-maker with my wanting to continue to differentiate in the market. Joe had asked me several times if he could make a material color for me and while at first, I could not think of anything in particular, it struck me that I should ask for him to create material that had the colors of a $100 bill.
Joe took the challenge and soon turned around the first set of blanks which I then sold starting at the Washington DC Pen show in August of 2023. Since that time I have created pens in all four of my models (Liberty, Ike, Mercury and Freedom), some with clips, others not and this has become my #1 material seller.
