So Anyway...

I'm fairly rolling in it - Holding 35,000 of these babies right now. Unfortunately they wouldn't even get me through the casino door.

They are from Afghanistan. They were deep in hyperinflation while I was there, and these were some of the last notes before they divided the currency by several thousand and changed the name of the money from Afghani to Af.

Very interesting!
One must be careful when taking foreign notes, I sold some parts to Adrian and he sent a few of these, he said he uses them every day at his local shopping centre so I'm sure I'm OK. It is strange that they don't look like the ones in Roberts post, hmmm.

So Anyways...
Yesterday was exactly 7 weeks since I placed an order with PGK for their Tele/Esquire kit. Website info states 7 to 9 weeks for custom products. Right on cue, at the 7th week mark, I received their email notifying me of completion and shipping. I hit the emails "Tracking" button, and everything is in German. I hope I don't have to go to Germany to pick up the kit... :eek:
