Day 90: Help Collapse a Currency



"The Bangladeshi Taka is currently under pressure at 58tk to the US dollar. If every book owner buys 100 takas this year and then sells them on December 31 at 4:55pm Bangladeshi time, the Taka won't be worth the paper it's printed on."

I check the exchange rate this morning, just to be safe, and the current rate is 100tk to 1.23USD, even more worse off than when the book was written. Since none of the banks around here actually sell takas, I was lucky enough to find this on eBay this morning:
My takas should be arriving sometime early next week.
