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.

Although the song was much before I was born, in those days in Nbi songs ran for years...unlike the Billboard now!

Re: [Goanet] The Scottish Rupee
Gabe Menezes, The easy money on the GBP has already been made. The last few weeks have been very good and the winners know they have to close their positions before the 18th. Those holding on to a GBP fx trade today are the hyper risk takers. Hyper risks = hyper losses/profits. As for the Scots, I always thought that half of them were a little backward i.e. tribal or clannish. On Thursday they will prove who are the majority in their society. Mervyn COMMENT: Once again, proved right. 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.

My response :-- Are you implying that the hundreds of North Africans, Nigerians and other west African migrants who brave the oceans to become refugees are the future slaves who will become economy betterers?

Bravo Scotland. The people of Scotland have decided we are better off as United Kingdom.

Today, if you agree, one can invade a country by sending them their currency to exchange with the local money until there is no more to exchange.

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.
