I keep hearing people complain about the changing of bills--but it all makes sense to me. My best friend's mom was born and raised in Taiwan. She was telling me once, that they change their money on a regular basis, I believe it was every 2 years or so, not because of counterfeiters and new technologies, but because the Chinese gov't would flood the market w/ counterfeits. (I did actually get to go to Taiwan w/ my friend and her mom and first hand saw them not accept the money because it was too old). Now that's not exactly what I call being a good neighbor.:/
I used to work at a music store, you know, one of those places that sells one damned cd for $16-$18. Anyways, I was reading online at VH1, after some searching, I found the article. What makes me sad is that people went and supported the stores involved anyways.
Not sure how to make this a link, but here's the URL for that story:
