US Peso deathwatch: Thai tailors switch to advertising in Euros
James sez, "The slow decline of the US dollar as a global currency continues with the tailors of Bangkok now advertising their rates in Euros. Advertisements for tailors can be found on the free tourist maps of Bangkok. I was in Bangkok in 2005 and all of the prices were in USD. Now the advertisements are in Euros." Link (Thanks, James!)
