I’ve developed a new currency.. It’s called CheezBit.

You can order as many as you like, the currency consists of 100 kilo chunks of swiss chee$e.

I currently have multiple restaurants, pizza parlors and fondue shoppes eager to embrace the cheese and trade in same.

You can even , Yes, cut the cheese. .. and make every smile.. as you leave a big tip.
