The problem with not spending it at the time was, next time you went there, the money had devalued by hundreds, or even thousands.

I now know how I have the Aussie $1, I had bought my dad a wallet in Aussie on my first trip and as it is bad luck to give someone a wallet without some money in it I had put the $1 in it. When he passed my mother gave me the wallet which still had the dollar in it.
She told me this this morning, at 96 she has a better memory than me for somethings.
Still don't know how I managed to keep the Kiwi dollar.
Regards Michael

#13 Well Thomas with the banks or whatever new name they are going to call themselves , maybe Fisherman’s Friends.? The only money I will be giving away will be two digits as they are so keen to go digital . The two finger salute is finally coming to be recognisable .The first to be hit will be the charity’s as most give by cheque and no cheque books no payee ! I have already informed the mnopf in case they stop paying the very small pension thinking I am dead and told them October may be the deadline for that bank but not me hopefully. So up to now it is a waiting game. The people to blame to me are the Commonwealth bank and the government for allowing. Cheers JS..

#16 There are 6 letters in yesterdays paper plus the others not printed so will print the first one…..Ive been Bankwest/ R&I customer for most of my life. With the Banks announcement that it will be closing the entire branch and ATM network in WA by the end of the year and going 100% digital, I will be closing all of my accounts and taken my money elsewhere, tomorrow. I am absolutely opposed to a cashless society that big business is pushing on us. I urge everyone to follow suit and vote with your feet. This letter goes on with more but too much to repeat. The title of post is Vote with your feet. The other titles are…. Service? What Service ?, Customers dont Count, Parent may follow suit. Referring to
The Commonwealth Bank the instigator.

You can blame it all on the mobile phone.
See them of all ages using the wallet on the phone to pay for everything.
But the cost to business to deal in cash is high, security vans to move it costs, they are passed on to the end user.

In the end we all get screwed one way or the other.

As to govs, they have an abundance of money, most in our pockets and when they need some just take it and if still short just add a new tax.

#18 on the other hand John you could blame it all on decilmisation . When the old penny oxo cube was still one new penny when the Europe thinking politicians got their way through subterfuge. And 240 pence suddenly became 100 new pence. What a rort in most cases. JS

hi john sabourn #16
good morning, I like your attitude, Banks are soley in business to make money and they do not give a second thought to its customers well being. As for the banking business planned agenda and future it is the same across the western world, Here in the uk i got absolutely incensed by the questions i was being asked at my bank when ever i tried to withdraw or deposit funds, so eighteen months ago i decided that i would empty my accounts and bit by bit i withdrew it until i now pay back in enough to pay my standing orders.
as for giving two digits to all those whom come to mind my prefered method will be to leave a written last will and testament with each person named in order of their bequeathment which will be nothing but my solemn promise that i will haunt them until the end of their time.
