Electric money is the norm in this far off corner of the euro, coins and bills are
mostly used locally by the kids buying some goodies.
Unluckily it also includes those afghanistan goodies, not just the home grown white vodka-wine
which at least gives a good hangover, for most.

-Key features: GPRS, HSCSD, wallet
the wallet is for the local beer, 3 seconds to get past the cashier, and both he/she and the Visa
Foundation will beep me if I don't, or I loose it. (interesting to have the visa card tell its
owner when some payment is done, great to have some instant double check??)
The other side of the story is to keep track of those strange sacks of bills and coins, carried into
the bank past the guards, but that is only a matter of time.

Additionally one gets the utility bills happily popping up in the handy display, just
waiting for a an enter-key or a PIN number to be approved.
Should work even in darkest africa, according to my local contact and investment hope.
