Franklin got some neat notes and coins today.

Discussion about the collecting, buying/selling, exchanging, design, and printing of notes and paper money from around the world, as well as the currency markets generally. Also, the discussion of items related to world currency like exonumia and scripophily.

I'd be willing to bet that prior to tonite, not one in a thousand members could have told you that the currencey of Malawi
was denominated in Kwacha :lol:

reminds me of one of those old jokes.... "be careful, don't step in the Kwacha!" :?

I was looking up what the notes are worth in US$ and it looks like .51 cents. But you make on ave. $857 a year. So that is a lot of money.

Would you have surmised that I might be that one in a thousand guy? :)
At least one other place uses the kwacha. Can you name that place? And no fair googling it!
