Back to My Future – Colour of Money Matters

Once you begin travelling abroad, you quickly learn that the colour of your money does matter. As I described earlier this week, even in the highly internationalised environment of a foreign airport transit lounge, some currencies are accepted, others are not.
Whilst my experience in Chermenteyov, in 1999, regarding some shops accepting multiple currencies, and some accepting a select few, may or may not have been due to business operator’s preferences, or due to airport rules, or even Russian laws, it did show me that travelling abroad requires a degree of preparation for the unexpected.
