        talking about this money depreciates thing.


        one fine day, i went to buy a bao from a store. i gave the china woman a 20 cents (those old kind, now already APPRECIATE), I didn't want to keep it so I just use it to pay. she didnt accept the money and then said that it's NOT 20 cents. I asked her to look carefully again. then she said she can't recognise its a local 20 cents an not other foreign currency!

        that's the problem of importing foreigners.

        anyway, OT already.
        I'm very sure SINGAPORE is printed somewhere on the coin..

        no?

        Show it to her.. then

        tell her it is illegal to reject a legal tender currency for S&P transactions.. :evil:
