Whilst in Brazil, I noticed that the kids who ran the boards in illegal taxis held their cash in one fist, with each note folded in half down it’s length, and seperated denominations between knuckles; 2R$ between the index and middle fingers, 10R$ between the middle and ring fingers, and 20R$ between the ring and pinky fingers, á la Wolverine. It meant they had a rapid system of giving change, kept their money always to hand (and not in a pocket where it could be pickpocketed) and still maintained the dexterity of both hands.

Sometimes realising how different we all are brings people closer together. Thanks.

I live in Vietnam.
There are no checking accounts.
Nobody would know what a check is.
Few people have debit cards. Very few.
Cash is a way of life.
The money is worthless. Prices in millions and Billions.
People buy houses with suitcases full of cash.
Or gold.

Fantastic video. I was fortunate enough to visit Turkmenistan last year, and yes, that part of the video is indeed true.

Amazing!
