Brain Teasers
Frozen In Time
I've been to more countries than you'll ever see.
I've been to church every Sunday.
I've been folded, pressed, even stuffed inside leather.
I've been dreamt about, coveted, and fought over.
People want me, yet despise me.
I have no true purpose except to travel.
I have no true mission in life except to be given and taken.
I have no true identity since I am but a clone.
I have no true name since I bear only the names of others.
People see my face and see another's face as well.
I am life to some.
I am death to others.
I am common as grass.
I am sometimes as rare as the perfect sunset.
People rely on me more than almost anything else.
What am I?

A U.S. dollar.You can pay for life with money.
People become homeless when they don't have money.

Nice! I never would've got it in a million years though
Why does it have to be a U.S. dollar?
Why can't it be a dollar? She thought of it and it was a US dollar, why do't you do that same poem and have something else to make you happy!!!! Oh and by the way that was a fun teaser
i was sure it was life and death... until it got to the part about life and death. oops! not bad
simple I got it from the 3rd line not to entertaining but still ok
I, too, knew just what it was after reading the third line. I found it very obvious; I guess it was not to many people.
I got it after the fifth line, only because bible still applied until then. but this was ok
I'm adding it to my favorites! I liked it and I did think it was a bible in the begining...then I thought it might be a cough or a sneeze but, then those didn't apply either

I have no true purpose except to travel.? This was the only thing I didnt get. I use it for shelter and food more than to travel.
This one was way to easy, had it on the third clue....omg!!!

knbrain is right, why it should be exactly a dollar? I thought the answer was just simply money. I know, maybe not all currencies can travel around the world, but what about Euros, for example?
CBMoris, the dollar itself travels from person to cashier, to bank etc. That line does not mean you use it to travel with. Great teaser. I thought it was originally an envelope.
