$2-3 US. But the airfare there would kill you.

Welfare 1964, the beginning of Printing Excess Money
Coinage Act of 1965, the realization we were going bankrupt, removing ALL precious metals from our currency
Closing the Gold Window August 15, 1971, the Formal Declaration to the World that the US was Officially Bankrupt.
I have lived it and still carry 2 silver dollars in my pocket to remind people of what happened.
Up until 1964, inflation(THEFT OF VALUE)was ILLEGAL!!!

I wonder what the Ladies of the Evening are accepting for pay these days.Bananas and eggs, because that's the price of a trim.

Understood. But we’re talking about a country where food is scarce.
For five bananas and two eggs I’d expect more.
Thankful not there to know for sure.

Like it. A yellow egg where the star is would be hysterical. A shirt or hat with the logo would be quite the conversation piece.

The linked article mentions:
"... a time of mind-numbing shortages of basic goods and exploding inflation. " The author of the article seems to be missing the point. There is no shortage of basic goods. There is only a shortage of the freedom to provide or obtain such goods.

In a barter economy, there is very little pressure for inflation.
In an economy with currency that is not convertible to gold, the government can print more and more bills and distribute them, leading the people to believe they actually have more money.
The government has a vested interest in causing prices to rise out of control. People in government are protected by cost-of-living raises. Those with savings are rendered instantly poor.

Supercuts charges $21 for a haircut.
Next time I am there I will offer 5 bananas and 2 eggs.
They might take it and mix it up and use it as a hair conditioner......
