I was riding in the the car through a parking lot when I caught sight of a new sign on a familiar bookstore (dream familiar, not real familiar).  It had been renamed afrakaday.  I looked at the driver and said, "I have to go inside.  It didn't used to be called that."

Then I was inside, having an esoteric discussion with a baseball player about....something.  In my dream, I understood the conversation, but awake me?  Not so much.  He was observing me for signs that I was dressed differently for something, and I don't even know.

There was also some other stuff about lying in the grass with the dog.  I don't even have a dog, but the one in my dream was adorable.

So, yet again, BSG has made it into my dreams.  Fandom, this time.  :waves at [livejournal.com profile] afrakaday:  How do you like being a bookstore?  lol

At least this time, I wasn't lusting after someone inappropriate.  :D

Because I was looking for something else and got distracted by the big pile of foreign money I have....

paper
1 Bahamian dollar - worth roughly 1 US dollar
10 Australian dollars - worth roughly 9 US dollars
10 Brasilian cruzieros - worthless
1 Mexican peso - worth roughly 7 US cents  woohoo!
500 South Korean won - worth roughly 44 US cents - and that's the real winner for today, I think.  lol
10 of something Asian - as you can see, they're small bills
front and back )

coinage
$6.50 Canadian - anyone going to Canada anytime soon?  lol
88 cents Australian
120 Mexican centavos
11 German pfennigs - presumably replaced by the Euro?  I'm woefully uninformed on which countries are using the Euro. i.e. probably worthless
30 French centimes - again, replaced by Euros? - probably worthless
10 Danish ore - probably worthless
25 Spanish ptas - Euros? - probably worthless
10 cents - Republic of Trinidad and Tobago - I don't think this is called that anymore, so probably worthless
1 Irish pence
sixpence - British?  I don't know.  Dated 1956
1 shilling - dated 1951
one penny - dated 1988 - does anybody besides Canada and GB use Elizabeth II on their coins?
20 centavos filipinas - dated 1945, and on the back it says United States of America.  wtf?
10 something - on the back it says suomen tasavalia, dated 1965
50 aenta - wtf is that? ahmokpatia baahnikh - middle eastern?  maybe baahnikh means bank

Some of these coins are pretty old.  Maybe I should check into finding collectors.

ETA:  The aenta is Greek.  The shilling is worth between $5 and $10, based on the date.  And the Philippine coin is 75% silver, so yay for me.

Also, my landlord suggested bagging all these up (well, the ones that aren't worth something) and finding a nice history/social studies teacher who covers pre-Euro Europe and giving them the coins for visual aids.  Lovely idea.
