How do you make money by collapsing a currency?
There are a number of ways to make money if you know (or believe) a currency is going to depreciate significantly. One is to borrow a large sum of money in the currency before it depreciates (or collapses) and then sell it to anyone who will buy it at today's price. Once the currency collapses it will be cheap to buy it back and pay off your loan. This would be "short-selling" (or simply "shorting") the currency -- selling what you don't actually own.
If you are capable of collapsing a currency, then it would similarly be possible to make money off of your skills. However, intentionally manipulating a financial currency implicates a number of ethical and legal issues; you might be better off in a more traditional career.

What is the value of a 1904 silver dollar?
900 is not a rare date for Morgan Dollars. In circulated condition, it's worth about $12 -- a nice uncirculated one is worth about $35 However, you want to check the back for a mintmark. Look above the "DO" in DOLLAR for a small "S" or "O". And if it has an "O", then take a good magnifier and closely examine it for traces of a "CC" mintmark around the "O" -- this is a rare variety. If you have an "S" mintmark, and the coin looks like new or very close to new, then the values will be much higher -- $60-$240 If you have the rare "O over CC" mintmark, the values are even higher -- $25-$45 if well-circulated -- $75-$140 if very lightly circulated -- $250-$650 if uncirculated. "E Pluribus Unum" Note that the motto E Pluribus Unum ("From many, one") has appeared on dollars since 1878 and on all circulating U.S. coins since around 1916, so this generally isn't a distinguishing characteristic. The most important characteristics are denomination, date, mintmark, and condition.
