Do you know the largest banknote in public circulation? It's the 1000 Swiss Franc (CHF) bill. It's exchange value as today is 1020 USD. Yep, we casually carry 1000$ in our pocket. And can actually pay with it. What can we buy with it? In Switzerland this will buy you 670l of gasoline from any gas station, 1000l of milk, 154 Big Macs at McDonald's, 7 Lewi's jeans, 20 month of high-speed internet access at home, one large HD flat-screen TV, 1,5 ticket to fly to Rio de Janeiro, a very nice meal for 10 people. But it won't be enough for a rent in Geneva. You will need at least 16 of these to buy a Smart car.

Cheers folks
