<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 13089, member: 57463&quot;]Some world currencies are &quot;inconvertible.&quot;&nbsp; Officially, the issuing government does not allow them to be exchanged for anything else.&nbsp; I think the North Korean Won is like that.&nbsp; It is still money within North Korea, of course -- and probably a black market exists for exchanging it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, in the USA we tend to use American money -- so do many other people in other places.&nbsp; You do not need to convert American money to spend it in Bulgaria or Greece or Mexico.&nbsp; Here in Michigan (as in Ohio, New York and other places near Canada) Canadian coins circulate on par with US coins as a minor inconvenience.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is true that by its nature money can be &quot;readily converted&quot; into other forms of money.&nbsp; I see that as a consequence of its being money in the first place.&nbsp; That you can buy other money with it is just an example of the fact that you can buy &quot;anything&quot; with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
