Pizza promotion met with death threats!

My boyfriend got a Panama quarter in change the other day. This might make sense if we weren't in the middle of Illinois! Lucky for him he likes collecting interesting coins.

The thing that is interesting to me is that since Sunday, I have seen AT LEAST 6 news stories about Pizza Patron taking pesos...they couldn't buy that kind of advertising, and apparently, they didn't need too. All the commentary is just getting them more airtime.

Its a good marketing plan, but I am a little discouraged just because the US dollar is already losing value. Still....interesting concept.

i like the whole money exchange set up with canada. i went to montreal over christmas and nobody complained when i used american and nobody complained when i used canadian after crossing over into maine. i can appreciate the concept of a euro.

people who are REALLY upset 'bout this need to worry 'bout something WAY more significant with all of their free time

death threats? that's insane.

I think there should be a standardized global currency. We have a global economy, people travel a lot more now, especially for business, it would make things a lot smoother, I think, and also cut down on counterfitting (everyone would know what the money should look like)

anyway, that's just my two universally accepted cents

Maybe the European Market has the right Idea?

EURO?

Tom, on paper the Euro seems like a good idea, but it has had many shortcomings of its own which have caused both members of the EU as well as outsiders to not be pleased with it.

Really, then why is the Euro beating the heck out of the Dollar? Are there any problems with change, DA?

Some foreign coins won't work in vending machines and would the Susan B. coin work for quarters be better?


Money is only what our Govt. says it is worth. So, do away with money and lets barter as the olden days.
