Canada US dollar

[sumdumguy]

Wouldn't that be interesting? Walking into customs with a suitcase of CDN bills? If i told them that I was going to Jamaica to transfer them to US dollars, they would drag me into interrogation room.

Reminds me of the time in chongqing china. I cashed in 400 dollars of canadian travelers checks. Yuan was 6.5 to the canadian dollar. Plus they made a zero error. So the machine started spitting out 100 yuan bills I am like what the ****. Teller put the pile on the counter and I am sure I had big eyes I calmly asked for a bag and they give me one with a smile. 3 hours later the teller found me down town eating noodle bowl.
Dam it was a little embarrassing. What are the chances getting tracked down in a town of 3 million people. My luck.

Lol hopper, a white guy in China, not like you blended in real well. You should of been eating something other than a noodle bowl and maybe they would of had trouble finding you.

Read this tonight about the $US :
"Today, the dollar purchases one penny of what a dollar in 1913 purchased. That’s how bad the inflation has been. " Pars.

But we get your point;-)

That's a hundred years. In traveling to US many times a year, I have noticed their recent rate of inflation in the grocery markets has escalated rapidly in last 5 years or so. Their groceries are as expensive as ours now. The statitics don't bear it out, but neither do Canadian stats. Me thinx someone is screwing with the numbos. Wouldn't be the top screwers?

To be contrary, I think I would not wish to buy much of what was available 100 years ago. I'll leave that to the antique dealers who have the ability to adjust prices to more than match inflation.

it wasn't my fact, cole; it was a blogger's fact, which is why I used quotation marks.

How far south will the $Cndn buying-power go, is the worrisome question. Pars
