Is it nigeria?

 

Its zimbabwe la, everyday must bring 3 luggage for 3 meal in restaurant lol

 

 

Those poor African countries all same. Go market use wheelbarrow to bring the money there n the food home.

 

Hahahaha

 

I saw a documentary they changed abt <UKP100 end up with a wheelbarrow to bring the money back.

 

There the notes de-value every so often till they need to print 1,000,000 Pound note.

 

Their de-value so easy. No need to print new notes.

 

Govt just say all notes knock off the last zero.

 

10,000 become 1,000............1,000 become 100 etc.

Last couple of series are still legal tender...

 

I still have a stack of Rp 50,000 from the mid-90s, notes bearing Suharto's face on it with me though..

 

 

I still have some old notes. When I tried to use (I think those b4 Suharto face) they said no value already.

 

Thai bhat also same. I still have the very old notes but I tried to use also no use.

 

Sometimes these countries wil change the notes to kill the pple with a lot of Illegal wealth they cannot put in the bank.

 

Thats why these countries all prefer to keep USD. That currency 100 years also still keep its value.

[Pisces69]

Yes still legal tender but keep some for collection as from what i know 70 and 80s note valued more than the nominal

 

I think I still kept the old notes b4 Suhartos face. U mean got good value?

 

Where to sell.

 

I also have collection abt 100pcs of old Spore Bird series notes in MINT condition n running serial numbers. Where can get a good price?

I only went club med binman before. Good for friends who go in a group and don't mind trying the funny things they have to teach

 

 

Bintan safer if u just stay inside the resort.

 

I go to the towns like Tg.Pinang, Punggol, etc. But we move around in a big group n got some locals with us.

 

U just cannot believe how cheap things r. A solid meal only abt $1 plus.

 

We go eat seafood restaurant eat like seow abt $5 each person.

 

Batam prices abt like SG prices. Too mnay well paid ang mo working in the oil industry there.

Yes they know many singaporeans go one so mark up the price.

 

 

If wan real cheap can go to bandung, food and clothings super cheap

Don't see anything wrong with this move. SGD is not legal tender outside of Singapore anyway. (except Brunei, but I think that agreement ended liao right?)

 

Us insisting to pay in SGD there is like say a Canadian coming to Singapore and wanted to pay in Canadian dollars.
