Trying to bust above $1500 and $18

Go figure

At the time the exchange rate was about SF 4.0 per $ , and about 4.3 NF per $.

I returned on business pre-Euro , and the SF was approaching par with the $ , but I was getting 8 FF per $ !

It was interesting that my high speed inter-city train from Milano was held up in the South of France for about six hours due to a strike of some sort , causing me to miss my reservation on the high speed train to Barcelona in Spain. Instead of arriving in time to get to my hotel , clean up , and go to dinner , I got to my hotel hungry at about 4 am.

i remember that french currency deal in the mid ’60s  i was riding my little peugeot 49cc motorbiike around paris, and when i needed to fill it up, i would tell the attendant “mille francs” (1000 old francs) and hand over a ten (new) franc note.  either way, it was about two bucks worth of gas. the bike was a lot like a mo-ped, a lot of fun, but performance? not so much.  it got me back and forth to classes.

i was back in the early ’90s and they had dropped the “NF” (new franc) notation from the bills.

Glad to hear you made it through all right.  Easy does it and steady as she goes; that’s a lot to recover from.

I don’t think most Americans including self are used to seeing 10K notes or value or money in Columbia.
If they took the Mil off without the three zeros if Mil means 1000
wouldn’t that be confusing? Either having both was confusing or kids these days can’t count.

These two bills are identical in value .
Can you spot the difference between new (top) and old ( bottom )

I saw something similar in France , back in the early 1960’s .
There were Francs , and New Francs (NF) with fewer zeros .
Here , the zeros are still there , but written (Mil) instead of displayed .
I am sure that soon , the Mil will be dropped from the designation .

Good to see you back online with us .

Glad your okay. Thanks for checking in. Good heart healthy food, rest and keep passive range of motion up.

Welcome Home!  Looking forward to see you active posting again.

Hey good to see you!

as I recoup from 3 x bypass open heart   surgery  ..

I was about 19 and bought it from a friend. Don’t remember what mileage it had on it. I do remember people would turn back the mileage on cars.. crooks.. along with teens practicing or taking one for a joy ride.
Yea it’s too late cuz nothing much changed. You I and other bought American once till it was gone.

The point being that you would normally be quite correct based on prior Fed Gold action. Something quite unusual is going on here, imho.

Im always happy to be wrong about the upside direction of pm’s.

Today is a bit surprising, tomorrow is a new day, and then Friday is unemployment report day. So we’ll see what happens.

cepting doesn’t seem like that much of a hit as yet. If that’s all that the Boyzs got then maybe the Bears are in trouble. Strangest ICL attempt that I can recall going all the way back to 2011. September went as it should but all of October $Gold has been locked into a sideways range. Takes an extremely strong Gold market to resist the strong pull of an ICL. The most positive forecasts that I had seen were down in the 1450/1440 range. So far we have gotten off very easy, IMO.
