Is this a good deal? Someone who’s good at eggonomics pls help
It was a good deal yesterday, eggs have inflated to $10 each now…
This is good for eggcoin.
Jokes aside I find it interesting that the US still uses paper money
Okay. May I ask what countries don’t?
I mean even if it’s falling out of favor, still, I have not heard of any countries to completely abandon paper cash.
China doesn’t, but yeah, what could go wrong with the authoritarian government tracking every transaction you make
I believe they meant that they are surprised our banknotes aren’t made of plastic or a more durable material as Canadian dollars are - rather than the other possible interpretation, referring to a cashless economy.
Huh, well TIL that Canada switched from cotton paper money to polymer back in 2011.

I was once paid for some side job with a Canadian $20 bill, but that was well before 2011, probably more like around 2005. The bank gave me about $18.50 US dollars in exchange at the time.
Many countries are transitioning from paper money for example the UK, Australia have somewhat eliminated paper currency. There is more but I can’t think off the top of my head and I do have multiple foreign notes that are not paper.
Edit: Canada, Vietnam, New Zealand, Brunei, Maldives, Vanuatu, Mauritania, Nicaragua, Romania….
All have either switched or are transitioning into polymer money, there is more but that’s just to name a few. I think it’s interesting what type of currency other countries use.
Yeah, the USA is generally transitioning away from paper currency as well, but it’s definitely still a thing.
Even if countries decide to totally stop making paper money, they should still accept money still in circulation of noted value for quite a long time.
Should…
True you’d like to think that, but countries like the UK for example have made paper money obsolete meaning you can no longer use them as legal tender.
I believe Australia have a similar process as well. And like you say they should accept paper money for a while but I can see some countries just well just making paper money obsolete
Good thing you wrote the value on the eggs so even americas get it.
The entire plot of the Jack London story “The One Thousand Dozen” from The Faith of Men pivots on eggs being $1 apiece
Hold. In a week you’ll have $7
Let’s see if they float!
They’re hard boiled, so I might joke around with folks for the next few days or so…
They’re not ducks…
Who are you who is so wise in the ways of science?
I will give you a really nice hat for the $5. Like REALLY nice
