Now my kids think it's neat to play with those coins from all over the world. However, I do admit to a fondness for the folding cash, if for no other reason than everyone else's bills all seemed to be so much more fun than the US's: different colors and sizes and cool holograms and stuff.Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962802919604963474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100513347252567500.post-62158087506092443082007-10-05T13:24:00.000+02:002007-10-05T13:24:00.000+02:00Lalala, in a rich man's world...Tudum.
