Shrines


Currency Exchange

From David L. Hoppe, on Wed, 17 Jul 2002 12:31:19 GMT (in response to: Any comments on the MPC Currency change? As remarkable as that was, I see no comments on that yet!)

My first day on the job was to do a currency exchange. I remember being locked in the accounting and finance office and counting and exchanging script for over 24 hours. They brought us food, etc...but we never left. The money had blood stains and other things on them. We heard rumors that there was panic at the gate from people wanting to give their illegal money away.

Months later we got some beer and went to a guarded cage and burned all the old script. It was quite an event.
