Sorry, another money question... but maybe a different one!

Where is pelododo when you need him to pimp for Duales?

EA:
I was really expecting you to finish your post # 19 with your all time ever lasting best statement during 2007…so far:

“I can't believe I am explaining this to a CANADIAN”

Just allow me to add a “little” million dollars detail:

Among the “the countless stipulations” included as well the decision not to allow to visit Cubans residing in the US for yearly periods anymore but for every three taking that way from the Cuban economy 2/3 of what those fellow compatriots used to spend while in here..not only what they used to send before which was also targeted BTW. So you may think” this particular currency tax is a nuisance” but it was a very smart nuisance which should then be considered as another step in the successful retaliations that for more than 48 years the tinny local government has been applying to laugh about the mistaken results coming from the useless and non working policies of a Superpower neighboring country.

Hey believe me, I know I am not explaining this to an American!...lol….

Ja, Canadian blowhards shouldnt need to have taxes explained to them. Or why Brits dont buy Sterling, Jeez! In his rage, Davfitz ignored the context & history of the 'Dollar Tax,' which had yet another purpose ('recoup,' as you've pointed out.) Hey, the Dollar Tax SUCKS for me too, but I wont deny its economic utility to the Cuban Govt.

Washington cannot outmaneuver Havana, and Uncle Sammy has failed in nearly every effort to do so in the last half century or so: Goliath is far too clumsy? US Cuba policy is driven by lunatics, fascists, terrorists & mafia? C-As might be good managers at McDonald's, but they shouldnt be managing US foreign policy.

I was out for several days, and I have no experience with other countries currencies, but I felt compelled to post something here.

Shouldn't someone offer the OP a means by which they can front-load their British Credit Card so that they don't have to worry about carrying cash everywhere with them?

I feel better now.

P.S. I enjoyed the math. It's such a pleasure to see someone get it right for a change.
