I heard the women are easy.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

In all seriousness numista doesn't show any icelandic coin in the years they list that was PM.

A bit of trivia about Iceland and Greenland- Iceland is actually very green and Greenland is very icy. Now that is strange.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

They never were; the Icelandic Krona melted down a lot during the 2008 banking crisis but it has since stabilized.

Thanks for the update regarding the Euro. I was thinking that Iceland was one of the PIIGS in the Euro mess a few years back. Wrong 'I' country. My mistake.

They seriously considered the Canadian Dollar - topped the survey as best alternative currency
