[Goanet] The Scottish Rupee (response to Gabe Menezes)
Dear Gabe All said and done, the sun rises and sets every day, the bell rings in America with smiley faces. In Goa's metal exchange life remains normal. You still get a bar of Kit Kat in exchange for the value of five rupees or two boiled sweets for one rupee, all that saving in metal, maybe more since the mining issue. Money only exchanges hands with purchasing power but not in loose change. Melvyn Fernandes Thornton Heath, Surrey, United Kingdom 23 September 2014

Stg is much firmer than before against all comers and the USD is stronger too against all the majors. All the shorts got badly burnt! Especially the short Stg/Euro. -- DEV BOREM KORUM Gabe Menezes.

Re: [Goanet] The Scottish Rupee (Response to JC)
Dear JC Goa is not a dry state and no liquor permit is needed hence it is a place where the beer goes in and brains go out. Just look at most debates and newspaper articles of the day. With regard to reference points, the Government of India has been trying to bring every village in the country up to standard but in Goa . football training in Brazil, garbage collection tuition in Germany and everywhere else. I hope I have answered your question.

As such, your foreign exchange traders are having a ball with the Great Britain Pound. Canadians went thru the same experience when Quebec had its referendum a few years ago. The bottom line? Every time a country votes on whether it is going to split or not, its currency takes a beating. There is easy money to be made. Every time. Mervyn
[Goanet] The Scottish Rupee
Hello all, This Thursday, the Scottish politicians have asked the people living in Scotland to make their views known as to whether they wish to govern themselves and break away from the United Kingdom or remain British. Scotland, a country that is 33 per cent land mass and 16 per cent of the population of the United Kingdom, its major revenue being “black gold” (oil) and “gold watch” (whisky) forgets its economy relies on the strength of being United. I am wondering if Scottish people of Goan origin will vote whichever way the money goes. Will we being seeing the first sign of a Scottish Rupee ditching the Scottish Pound. At least if anything this will be a new currency on the block as the world keeps chasing after the sterling and the US dollar. Foreign exchange transactions are worth 3 trillion a day in the City of London, England, so guess who will be better off. Melvyn Fernandes Thornton Heath, Surrey, United Kingdom 16 September 2014
