Re: Coming Soon, New 15,000 Riel Notes
Finally got one of the 15000 notes. They're polymer, which is hopefully a sign of things to come. But jeebus are they big enough???

Haven't had a 15k note since early 2020, have they stopped circulating them?

Re: Coming Soon, New 15,000 Riel Notes
Can you share where / how does she obtain gold, and is it in a jewellery form or bullion? All I was able to find was overpriced jewellery that costs 3x its weight in gold, and bullion that could be "pre-ordered" at 1.5x the market price. If I wanted to sell, I would be able only then get scrap price of less than half of what was paid.All in all, my wife just likes gold, as paper money is just that - paper, so she immediately exchanges any spare cash for gold.
Can't blame her
In the UK I found it easy to buy/sell bullion at close to spot price - ebay, ads, sellers and buyers were plenty.

Most of the jewelry here is of shit quality, last I checked those little gold bracelets the girls wear are 50-70 a pop.Mr.November wrote: ↑Thu Jul 15, 2021 1:47 pmCan you share where / how does she obtain gold, and is it in a jewellery form or bullion?

I'd trust buying a used vehicle without looking at it first before buying gold here.

What "gold bracelets the girls wear"? You really have no clue what you are talking about. Gold is a big commodity here, and they are quite aware of how to test the purity.

Gold jewelry is commonly worn here bub, doesn't mean it's "high quality"

It’s often not gold as we’d know it but “platin”. I think it’s a mixture of gold and copper?
Anyway. Those bracelets are tough a fuck so no way are gold gold. (Yes I said it twice. It’s like when you say you’re going “out” and someone says “What out out or just out?”)

The only ones I’ve seen are the thin jobs and they’ve always got a certain number. Like I says it’s too strong for proper gold.John Bingham wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 11:34 am What bracelets? There is more than one design and price out there.

Okay. Did you know a motorbike is $1000 and a house is $125,000? Anyone know how much for a bottle of drink?
