Should have asked whether to came to buy a barrell of crude oil, in that case they would have a point. Before the euro here in the Netherlands we used to accept Deutsch Mark 1 on 1 from German visitors. It was usually about 10% more valuable than the Dutch guilder. Easy money, easy for the tourist. No hard feelings either way.

@tristanvoltaire2058 Technically, but it only took a few years to have the same prices in euro's as in DM or guilders.

There are dumb people everywhere but it's a bit of a shame for the Americans. With a bit more education they would have had a structure of knowlegde about the world. Without that structure, everything for many of them watch or learn seems to fall through. It's much easier to acquire knowledge and understanding when new information has a place to land, when it connects with stuff previously learned.

@zimzimph I wasn't a business owner, but it was mostly a flat fee and then a little conversion advantage for the bank. So it was saving up to a 1000 DM's, after deduction of what to spend in Germany of course.

Written history vs oral history. Continuous civilization vs destroyed civilization. And Spanish priests deliberately destroying native sources of knowledge on top.

@TheIrishBosnian Allthough dumb and arrogant make such a nice couple, the often more educated British share that arrogance, that lack of understanding that something is not theirs.
