Whoops, that's what happens when you quick read and reply on your smoke break and work... Faceplam
This was the best freebie that I ever saw ...
in RENO during the 80's this was ubiquitous:
Canadian Cash and Traveler's Cheques were
converted to American Casino Chips at PAR!
During that era, the Canadian dollar was worth
about 75¢ so CA$400 [Canadian] morphed into
US$400 [American] That was 25% profit. They
did NOT ask you to buy back the Canadian cash.
You needed to have Canadian I.D. to have done this.
"During that era, the Canadian dollar was worth
about 75¢ so CA$400 [Canadian] morphed into
US$400 [American] That was 25% profit."
No, that was 33.33% profit. You started with the equivalent of USD300. But, suddenly, it became USD400. That's a 33.33% profit.
