Same size, different value

Posted by Umema Siddiqi on Sunday, November 06, 2005 in ,


You go to a shop. You buy something. You give the shopkeeper money. You wait for the change. You get the change. And instead of getting one rupee, you get a cent!!!! Now, you're back home.
Are you lucky cuz that cent has more value than the 1 rupee you should be getting? Or, you should feel gloomy cuz this cent is simply worthless, atleast here in Pakistan. I laughed! How clever of the shopkeeper, or probably how stupid of me who didn't notice.

*wishes* I'd be happy if the shopkeeper someday 'by mistake' gives me 100 dollars instead of 100 rupees.....*rofl*

Cheerio folks!!!

You're luckier than me in this regard, coz you were "cheated" by a shop-keeper. but I was cheated by bus-conductor.
When I got off the bus I felt like blowing away my savings for a "Shahi". But shockingly for me, it was a 1 US cent coin.
Aaaghhh!!! How the hell did this this cent find its way into a bus?!!! Why the same bus that I was traveling?!!!
Kheir, luckily I found a beggar sitting nearby and handed it over to him.
Now, you've got a really valuable tip from a "wise" person on "change management".

lolz, same thing happened to me, one us cent handed over to me by someone in da market, i discovered it when i was having annual wallet management.

waisay i think isko tum frame kera lo, lucky coin :p.


Well, here in Canada, I keep on getting US Nickles and Dimes, and simply I just use them at other stores.

I'm sure I have enough US coins in my penny-pot; sometimes even quaters. But the good thing is at least I can use 'em here in Canada. I'm sure they are useless in Pakistan.


~Tiddy: not yet...I'll spend it on books and not on buying toffees hahaha....

~Yousuf: someone might have handed over a cent 'by mistake' lolz.. Lol @ giving it to the beggar...wo bechara kia karay ga us ka???

~Harris: nice...our luck is so good...getting cents these days...hahaha

~vicky: They are definately useless here, but we still use them, and you have just read how! Hahaha...




Make a chain....3 people over here have got US and canadian cents by different means...try to link them
