Good question - it's a long time since I used zlotys - I suspect
about three miliion to the pie.
The advantage of my currency system is that, in the event of a crash,
currency meltdown, etc., you still eat.
The 'slab' is a common unit of currency in the construction industry
- for those not in the know, it's 24 cans of beer shrink-wrapped into
a flat brick. It is used as follows -
"How much dya want for that scrap timber over there?"
"Oh, coupla slabs orta do it."
There's a few parts of my house paid for in that way.
