<p>[QUOTE="fiatfiasco, post: 1903361, member: 67957"]Do you have any facts to support paragraph 1 or 2? Because I talked to actual humanoids that do this somewhat for a living who live there. People make businesses out of importing American low denomination currency. If you have 50 american singles, and a single 50 dollar bill, the 50 individual singles are actually worth more. Kind of like how buying 10 x 1/10 fractional silver rounds are worth more than a one ounce bar. They both contain one ounce of silver, but one medium has more individual units. And the 50 Centavo piece and the 50 cent JFK Half dollar are not equal in value. They may be similar in size, but that would be it. I don't know what things cost there, but I know that if you went into a coffee shop there, and it costs 50 cents, they wouldn't accept one single 50 centavo coin as payment if they accepted a 50 cent JFK Half as payment. That 50 centavo piece is only worth like 2-3 pennies, you would need 20-25 of them. Its like if someone offered you a whole ounce of gold or a whole ounce of silver for free, you wouldnt take the silver because it weighed the same, the gold is worth more, obviously you would take the more valuable metal. Same concept. The American dollars are more valuable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
