<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sakata, post: 2900479, member: 23778&quot;]The book <i>When Money Dies</i> is all about the inflation in Weimar Germany.&nbsp; There is a story in there about a woman who lived in German before WWI and had enough money in here bank account to live very comfortably.&nbsp; But she had to go to Switzerland for some emergency medical treatment and did not get back to Germany for several years.&nbsp; When she returned she found her account had been closed.&nbsp; She asked why she had not been notified and was told there was not enough money in the account to pay for the stamp to mail such a notification.&nbsp; Had the money be in gold coins instead of marks she could have continued her life as normal.&nbsp; Instead she was penniless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
