   Somalis have been using ancient banknotes from a defunct government for so long that they've had to start sewing disintegrating bills back together. The intaglio printing press is basically a lost technology over there.

     I stopped playing that music mid stride because I don't need my dining room appliances to start levitating again.

     @Hoss I sometimes wonder what quality of life you could have in a black shithole like Somalia or Liberia with a first world salary.
     Is there White enclaves near the embassies where it's all gated and garded and people live in peace like it's 1850 or something?
     
     Or do you need your own compound and bulletproof truck to move to another secured compound like in South Africa?

     There's dozens of nations where your dollar goes way farther than America that also aren't completely lawless hellholes full of 75 IQ apes.

     The point is that Somalia is the absolute last place anyone would ever try to live as an expat.

     @Hoss @Mark I can understand the theory, in that Zoomalis serve as a sort of stochastically-horrific wildlife that any prospective invader would have to go past to cause you any problems, kind of like sitting in a cage in the middle of a pride of lions - a pickpocket is going to conclude that it isn’t worth it

     that’s less of an issue for an enemy that has an air force, of course

     it does, however, mean that you have to have some way to keep niggers far away from you and incapable of fucking with your supply and support systems, which is the big problem; unless you’re OK with living on bushmeat and have like a gasoline well or something, you’re gonna be trying to get resupplied through that same group of niggers and it will not end well for you

     all in all bad plan, but I can understand where the thought comes from

     Not to mention Somalia's literacy rate is estimated to be 54% in the most optimistic case.

     @gav @Hoss paper currencies have the value of goods you can get for them *and* the value of the paper itself (perhaps for writing things on, using to tape to things, burning, etc). It's not much, and that's why we use them for trade and not for those other things.

     >gresham's law
     
     "gr...s....m's law" there are alot of these for some reason
     
     
     
     paper currencies dont have any value in the first place, so this isnt relevant theres no reason to horde us bills because they only have trade value
     
     maybe they just need extremely low value currency?

     I'm guessing it's a Fallout bottlecaps-esque situation. The currency has no intrinsic value, but the technology to produce it no longer exists, allowing it to be used as a trusted medium of exchange.

     I imagine there are also currencies from neighboring states and probably USD floating around the Somalian cash economy too.

     @Hoss @jeffcliff obviously, its thst they go to the effort of sowing bills back together instead of abandoning them, kosovo just illegally uses the euro, and before ither currencies, no one bought the yugoslavian currency everyone just took it as a loss
