six weeks by six weeks qatar is just getting rid of dollars and off-ing the euros while the getting out and off-ings are still good From: J Sent: Sunday, August 19, 2012 7:40 AM Subject: Re: 1930 bank of china gold units if you have confirmed reservation to bora bora intercontinental beach comber w/ miss wen xia-yu, i could consider doubling my bid and take the prospective problems off of your hand. on second thought, reservation w/ any of the contestant would be duly considered.

From: J Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2012 07:20:34 +0800 (SGT) Subject: Re: 1930 bank of china gold units the 1930 bank of china gold units (face value ten thousand yuan) sells for between usd 3 and 50 on e-bay ebay.com , and i note they, being equally dead paper money, trade at a premium to the zimbabwe dollar, and may well trade at significant premium to much of the current generation of paper monies. should you wish to dispose of any extra ones of yours i am happy to exchange a total of hk$ 100 for two of your bank of china notes together. i would like to use them as instructional material in continuing / anticipated conversations w/ erita / jack. i already have some zimbabwe dollars, and some us dollars, along with some yuan, yen, euro, indonesia whatever i can never spell correctly, and pesos from around the world. i must note, the 1900s china silver dollars are still good, even the fake ones, as long as made of metal. erita, who knew since age 3 that gold is the best money, is now muttering, "dada, i do not have any money. your allowance for me is a number on the ipad (allowance bank app), you keep for me the red packet money in the safe, you change all to gold whenever you can, and then you keep the gold again in the safe. i need money to buy books." erita reads much, and is also athletic (swimming, ballet, but not running and any game involving field and balls), taking after some of her relations but not me. jack is not yet muttering. he takes after me more so than erita. he is a happy go lucky. yelps only when milk is not plentiful and in the correct flavor - while traveling we ran short of his goat milk powder and mixed a bit of the powder into fresh goat's milk from a neighboring farm - we found that he would only drink if there is more than 50% of his normal powder mixed in, and even then with a suspicious frown on his face. he shall soon be initiated to 'dilute-able' money. jack's second birthday is next week and i have gathered a complete set of smaller scale intricate metal vehicles that do productive work. "jack" tested one of many vehicles over the past 6 months and they siku.de are now certified to be nearly indestructible. erita, nearly 8, is baking jack a birthday cake in the shape of a car, of course. jack's existing toys are just a jumble of broken stuff. each morning he gets out of bed, takes the jumble out and place the pieces on the coffee table, says, "dada, fix". we have already explained the difference between fixable-broken vs really-broken. jack shall learn about the economic system of today at some juncture in his knowledge-building program, and re-learn 'really broken'. speaking of really broken, the world seems to have entirely gone on vacation. i now understand why the germans won over france back in 1940. the french wanted to get on with their summer vacation. now all is relatively quiet on all fronts. expect to be caught in the cross-fire of european fiscal-monetary chaos and american monetary-fiscal rule-by-making-up-rules come autumn. have not a clue what to do about anything except to work and work more, not look up, and work still more, and no idea at what. am only sure that every penny of excess savings and surplus capital shall be mineralized, in preparation for the monetary event singularity that shall surely happen to us once enough realize the differences between fixable broken and really broken. amen, j From: C Sent: Sunday, August 19, 2012 2:09 AM Subject: J Just found some 1930 Bank of China Custom Gold Units.
