According to BoingBoing, Amsterdam currency exchangers won’t take US dollars:
Currency exchange outlets in Amsterdam don’t want to trade US dollars for euros because the value of the dollar is dropping so quickly they’re afraid of losing money, even with the outlandish vigorish the sleazy little joints usually tack on.
Does that make your wallet feel lighter?
Perhaps this will?
Will the Dollar become the new Soviet-era Rouble (such that we insist it’s worth money while the rest of the world simply plays along when we’re standing there but uses greenbacks for TP when we’re not)?
Or, as a friend suggested today, is the current crisis being managed by the “bankers” to force us all into a one-world currency (which I like to call the “Woro”)
