Money Money Money!

I’m weird.

I always had the fancy of reading labels in food containers, shampoo bottles, medicines, and in almost every product that has something written on it. And just last month, I had an idea of scanning paper money bills whenever my grandma gave me my allowance. Then I remembered that a few years before, the Central Bank of the Philippines released 100 peso bills that had a misprint on the spelling of our current president, Gloria M. Arroyo. The bills, which were around 1000 pieces in number, spelled the President’s surname as “Arrovo” and I also remembered that during that time that the bills were released, people were selling them for Php200 each – that’s double of what it’s actually worth! Hmm, I wonder how much are they worth now… *evil smile*

Well, after excitedly scanning paper bills whenever I receive my allowance from my grandma, I have two Arrovo bills as of now. ^____^ Too bad one of the bills is not actually in great condition already… I also searched through sites featuring the bills and some say that they’re now worth around Php5000 each! I hope this is true! Hahaha. If I keep them for around 10 years more, can their worth get higher? Wee… I want money… Lots of money!!! o_o
