[QUOTE="Small Size, post: 2646030, member: 77924"]My adopted daughter is Vietnamese. I was aware of the extraordinary beauty of French colonial notes, so I looked for a culturally significant note that I could give her that she would find interesting. The note I settled on was part of an issue that almost always had two tiny pinholes. They existed because the packs were regularly sewn together, to prevent thieves from pilfering notes from the middle of the pack. A non-holed note from that series is unusual, to say the least. The first note I bought had no pinholes. I'd never saw such a note without pinholes. I kept that note and found another with the usual two tiny pinholes to give her, which she was grateful to receive. I felt a little guilty keeping the unusually original note, but then remembered that when I die, she'll get that one too. She'll also get an embarrassingly large library of dirty DVD's. Whether she inclined to trash them, sell them or watch them, it seems discarding them in an unsuspecting dumpster beforehand will prevent many problems.[/QUOTE]
