I thought it was odd too my first couple trips at the ATM and the machine asks if I want to withdraw $300,000 or $500,000 and still realize it's only a few hundred bucks, at the most. I might still have some 10s and 20s laying around the house somewhere. Maybe I can go to Colombia again to use them up. :)Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07379397976154250105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429991721363956274.post-11457131242155939022012-07-23T09:10:34.261-07:002012-07-23T09:10:34.261-07:00:) You guys are on my blog list too, I know your ...:) You guys are on my blog list too, I know your niece Madeleine.

You'd need a treasure chest to carry around all those coins!Danihttp://www.sundownersailsagain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429991721363956274.post-84853463811314610862012-07-22T12:00:28.499-07:002012-07-22T12:00:28.499-07:00"Are you sure you'd like to withdraw 300,..."Are you sure you'd like to withdraw 300,000?" <br /><br />My God. <br /><br />But at least there is this... You are moving from lower numbers to higher so you are cautious. Could you imagine being a Columbian at a US Bank and they ask if you want to wire the 300k and you're like, "Oh no biggie," only to realize moments later what you'd done?Tatehttp://sundownersailsagain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429991721363956274.post-70586860871732358812012-07-22T11:03:20.553-07:002012-07-22T11:03:20.553-07:00It's probably just inflation.
