Completely damn idiotic to exchange those foreign currencies back to IRI-pesetas and it is even more idiotic to use their savings to exchange to the $US at the first place, a currency that not backed by the Federal Reserve here in the United States anymore (this applies even to Pounds sterling and Euro).
These damn poor bastards should absolutely and initially invest in buying gold, ask any Jew you know .... their respond will be; Never ever put your savings in $US, NEVER EVER!
Honestly, I dont understand at all why people have fallen into the hands of IRI currency agents? Whether you sell or you buy $$, you will help IRI-mullas Black-Market-foreign-currency. The fuckers earn multum on this arrearage.
This is naive to believe you can gamble with foreign currencies and come out unscathed or secure your future, damn idiotyczny ....... there's nothing else to say about it.
