      Mine is undoubtedly DOLLARs $$$ 😀

      Dunno, just have some kind of fascination with this currency. I even got my Ipad2 cover with loads of dollars imprinted on it :p

      That’s a bit too bling for me…

      @imdnextbuffet I like to shop. I just discovered beet sugar and I want to buy some. They enhance the flavour of herbal tea and it adds a dash of sweetness.

      I also like trying new things, I swear I don’t spend all my money on clothes :p

          LOL – favourite in what sense @imdnextbuffet? Design, value, ubiquity or even stability? I like SGD and Swiss Francs because it’s so stable (in fact appreciated) in this crisis!

          well @reena ever since I was kid I was told money is dollars so aim for it. $-) Though as and when I grew up I did realise how stupid I was at that time, still fascination for dollars still persists :p So you like those currencies just because of the economics?

          @reena appreciated during the crisis? It’s more like everyone else depreciated :))

          In this kind of economic climate, better to hark back to the old days: good old gold. :ar!

              @imdnextbuffet dude that is pretty bling, lol. That probably increases your chances of getting mugged when you go outside with that!

              I like my own local Canadian dollar. Why? Because when I go shopping that is the currency they demand payment in.

              @imdnextbuffet I love my caffeine too but I also drink tea. I have a french press and a shelf full of different flavours of tea (I drink instant when I am lazy brew it fresh when I am in the mood).

              I spend money on clothes but I get them from Japan/Korea/Taiwan/Hong Kong so my local currency isn’t really an issue. Most transactions are settled in USD anyways!

              We got those new plastic-y bills being phased in that stick together and melt in the car.

              That’s terrible. But you guys have these though, which is awesome beyond words.

                Believe it or not @MattJuniper, long time ago when I still follow EPL, I was an Alan Shearer and David Ginola fan (+ Newcastle). But yea, Man U’s fan base around the world seems larger!

                Ahhh, all the ladies liked Mr Ginola!

                    Maple syrup with cornflakes sounds good! With milk as well, right?

                    Personally I like bartering, just like when you’re at school:

                    “Mate, I’ll swap you Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton for your Man United shiny and a couple of Pogs”

                    😀

                        @Zee no Canadian retail only likes Canadian money. We got those new plastic-y bills being phased in that stick together and melt in the car. Our local currency is causing us a whole host of problems.

                            @mattjuniper goes for a lot around here! groceries not so much.

                            Wouldn’t your favorite currency always be your base currency? 😀

                            And I fully acknowledge that anyone growing up outside of the UK will have no idea what I’m banging on about. But you have glow in the dark dino-coins so you probably don’t care.
