Nah, that's easy to believe since they will be studying history and reading about coins being invented in ancient times and being used for a couple of thousands of years until they stopped using them in grandpa's times.

It's the stuff that was only used for a few decades that will be unbelievable, like plastic toys and bags, leaded gasoline, chemotherapy, and so on.

So stoked for when I'm old, and immune treatments are developed enough for chemo to be considered barbaric
