Dear Diary,
I'm going to talk about cashmoney, the paper notes we use every day and are based on some form of currency. Why is cashmoney useful? Well, ancient civilizations used to use other materials for exchange such as cocoa beans, but trading cocoa beans instead of eating them is actually the highest form of heresy of which the human soul is capable. So eventually, instead of accepting beans (magical or chocolaty) as payment, people started making coins and paper with people's faces on them. At this point you can tell I don't actually know much about this subject. Anyways, someone also got fed up with all of the cashmoney in their pocket being crumpled and wadded up, so they invented the wallet. The wallet became a worldwide phenomenon, and soon enough, people were also putting their health insurance cards and credit cards and library cards and Lego Club cards in their sweet cashjackets. Most of these cards had a particular height, and if the cashmoney was also of a similar height, the wallet could be limited in size. Obviously, a wallet from a particular region was typically adequate in size for the cashmoneys being used in that region. It's no mistake that the United States dollar works well with the Animaniacs wallet I had in third grade.
But what happens when someone from a country with smaller (and less blind-friendly) cashmoney goes to multiple regions with mutant steroid-infused godzillabills almost twice the height of standard business and credit cards? And what if those same regions don't accept credit cards with the same near-ubiquity of the originating country? Lots of big cashmoney ends up in small cashjackets, and almost everyone loses, especially these folks.
Yeah so, Euro, Pound, and Rupee notes don't fit too well in my ShyamIshanee wallet that I love. No big deal though. Anyways, I'm in India. Retrospective posts to come.
P.S. Regarding the title, I intended (and still intend) to use the title "It's All About the Belgian Ones" or something equally stupid for a blogpost, so look forward to that.
