RE: Diverse Content On LeoFinance - Introducing Krunk's "Fiat Museum" Series

in LeoFinance5 years ago

I love this idea! The Krunk Fiat Museum, and not a car in sight!
I have some old Ukrainian notes that were in circulation when I was in Odesa. Next time you're over I'll get them out and you can take some photos if you like. They were called coupons, or karbovantsy, and they came out of circulation not long after I left. I have all the denominations that were in circulation then, up to a 1,000,000 note. Yes, for a time, I was indeed a millionaire!

A quick look at Wikipedia reveals that I was there during the third karbovanets period, from 1992–1996, so I must've been there at the tail end of the currency's lifespan and I experienced the hyperinflation as it was happening. I didn't actually realise that!

LOL, cheers Cams...been wanting to visit for a while, maybe winter's the season, lessee what gives...be into checking out the karbovantsy for sure - any duplictes amongst them?

Not quite sure what my starting point is for the museum, wanna throw me a suggestion for what country to kick off with - you've a good idea of where I've been. If not, something just came into my head as I was typing this out to you ha ha (that was quick @:).

No dupes, no, just one of each I'm afraid. I have some Kazakh tenge somewhere too. And some AA sobriety chips!

If you can't think of a country, I'm gonna say Belarus. Go!

Haha, an easy one coz AFAIK it was just notes they had when I was there.

I had thought of Cuba just as I was typing my last reply.

Wait and see :D
