It made me think of old currency I had kept. I've got bills from every place we've travelled and even donations from fellow collectors. When I was last in the Netherlands in the early 1980's, I saved this note.
Isn't money a great invention? I can earn it by teaching a class then take some and purchase whatever I desire --- globally. This sort of goes hand-in-hand with my amazement that wherever I go, there are always people ready to give me a meal and provide a bed for sleeping. All I need is a little cash. A few slips of paper are so much more portable than keeping wealth, say, in cattle. Cows don't travel well in one's luggage and they don't divide easily.
