Cash Converters, today revealed they were planning a $700 billion dollar bail out of the US banks.
Several national monuments are being put up for collateral including the Lincoln Memorial, the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore.
"Obviously they (the US) will not be receiving full market value for their monuments as we have to make a reasonable profit to make the transaction worthwhile." said a Cash Converters spokesperson.
Meanwhile, the US government are busy compiling a list of monuments they can do without for a while. There is a strong indication that the entire state of Maine will be sold off at a reduced rate and become property of Converters head branch in Tooting, North London .
"We hope to be able to buy back the monuments within the time limit or else Cash Converters will put them on general sale, making themselves a
disgusting profit." said a US treasury spokesperson.
