A currency with a true purchasing power .....

Nowadays, with the massive money printing, currencies are losing value and even sense ...... It s particularly true in Japan .....

but take a look on This small japanese coin minted before 1870.... It named a BU. I purchased It last week.

 

with This small coin (less than 2 cm long), 150 years ago, the owner could pay a high level prostitute for all night .... (at least 1000 euros today)
