Reply to: Get your wheelbarrows ready

So what happens to credit cards then - will I need a barrow full of them?

You'll have to raise your limit every day to avoid maxing out or defaulting. I believe the governor of the Bank of Zimbabwe can supply you with a list of big numbers you can use when asking for higher spending limits.

How the hell am I going to carry enough money to the garden center to purchase a wheelbarrow?

I wouldn't bother. By the time you get to the garden centre you'll need a large van.

They should air drop it at football matches.

1) Great way to disperse currency back in to the population.

2) Great way to stimulate population control.

Sorry, it's the smallest note I've got.

Hmm...I wonder if Kall Kwik can do multiple copies...

Does QE mean they will simply continue to generate more currency on an ongoing basis? Or is it more likely it will run in sudden injections of cash; e.g a set amount may be released (and the amount made public)?

What'll this do to the Euro exchange rate? I see last trades at 1.13 which is near the top end of the recent fluctuations.

P.S. I want to get 1.03 again

The only way is up - Im still going for 1.20 by the end of the month - the Euro is going to have a trroid time until the end fo the year.

Wonder how many notes go missing?

There was a story a few years back about those people who were employed to burn the old bank notes. They were smuggling some out. They were rumbled when some guy went to open a bank account with a bag of used notes (about 100k) and said he worked at the mint.

It's probably an urban myth but I liked it.

Bank of England to start printing money

We're all millionaires now!

That's precisely why I'm warning you to get your wheelbarrow ready now, before you need it.

I once worked with someone whose wife worked at the Print - it's pretty interesting to see and understand the security around the entire process and transport of pallets of cash. Shed regularly be in the secure area's which was an extremely large well protected bay area underground which would hold/house the notes for anything upto 18 months at a time.
