<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1595469, member: 66&quot;]Did you see the second sentence in the next to the last paragraph where I said new coins and currency would have to be ready before the conversion date?&nbsp; On conversion day the new currency becomes valid, and the old can either be exchanged or it might be allowed to circulate, at 10% of its old value if you chop one zero, or 1% if you chop two.&nbsp; So the $10,000 you are sitting on doesn&#039;t become $1,000,000, if you try and spend it it becomes $1000 or $100 depending on how many zeros we are dropping..</p><p><br /></p><p>Old currency could probably still circulate (although it would most likely be exchanged rapidly for convenience sake.)&nbsp; Old coins would probably be more of a problem because you are not likely to get vending machines to accept both types, and the values of the old coins would drop so much they would become a pain to handle.&nbsp; Exchange once again would either take place quickly or they would just disappear into hoards. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As would a change of the dollar.&nbsp; Inflation has reduced the value of the dollar to roughly 1% of what it was a hundred years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>An exchange of Francs for euros at some given rate, an exchange of dollars for new dollars at a rate of ten or a hundred to one.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see a difference&nbsp; Same as when the Mexican Peso was exchanged for the New Peso at 1000 to one, and then after a few years they drop the word &quot;New&quot;.&nbsp; After a few years we drop the word new and they are just dollars</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Actually it does, because you can keep the composition the same, change the size a little to make the new cent and new five cent distinguishable from the and the new cent coin has the purchasing power of the old dollar, the face value of N$0.01 and the cost of N$0.0002[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
