Would have been fun to pile them and watch the faces of people as you burn the bills.
Of course, you’d probably get busted for counterfeiting and air polluting, but what the heck. You could just pay the fine with $100s.

Not much is going on to creat cost increase demand from makers of stuff. And not much is happening in the way calling for demand increases in costs.

Cost demand is due to increases in the cost of goods and passed up to the consumer. Demand inflation is the result of demand or pull on the supply. Right now nothing is moving or gettting made if you belive what you see and hear in the news.

Change a hundred dollars in HaNoi and you get a million in dong. Do you want to be a millionaire..?

EDITOR NOTE– Actually the rate is now in excess of VND 17,000 per USD which is a a millionaire and three-quarters for $100.

Bring some Vietnamese currency back with you so we can photo copy it, burn it and await riches from the sky — I’ll bet this will bring a better return than my 401K, which is augering as I type.

It’ll provide more value with heat than what it’s worth on the open market!
