American Change?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Any Aussies remember the trial run of $5 coins some years back? Almost none of them hit circulation, scooped up for collections. Also, has anyone seen the $200 merchant coin?

I've never heard of a coin so valuable. Not in circulation I'm guessing?

No, for bank use only - not circulated AFAIK although some are on the market for collectors.

I was hoping this thread would be about the other kind of change - anyone else?

The US government has tried the dollar coin so many times and each time they are setting in warehouses collecting dust (at tax payer expense.) In days of yore, the US had $10 and $20 gold pieces. Obama-Iben-Lying is printing and giving away $100. bills so fast that the US mints printing machines can't keep up. Our neighbors in the Great White North (Canada) have the Loony ( only they could think that one up.) And the Ruble is now being used as toilet paper world wide.(as the US dollar will be in the not to distant future.)

"As long as Clinton isn't the Pres. on them your OK."

Uncle Bill was the best president in recent memory and beyond. And remains great guy.
So effective was he that the Repubs were reduced to chasing his dick around the country for the better part of 2 1/2 years and bringing the business of the country to a substantial halt while doing so. This was their notion of being in opposition. Peeping Toms, the lot of them.

Since Obie the Mud Lamb, as you might characterize him, has been president the dollar is up 15 to 20%.
