How much is 750 quid in money?

Yellow 05-07-2010 01:46 PM

i mean considering quid IS money... 750 quid... but if your asking how much it is in US currency? I am not sure.

Omnimorph 05-07-2010 01:51 PM

not sure on the £ to $... 1100 bucks maybe? It's not too shabby.

Ihealyou 05-07-2010 01:57 PM

Its 1,101.23 USD because America loves democracy, and 419,778 ZWD because Zimbabwe got married and had two kids with democracy.

Quid isn't real money; you can't buy a KFC double-down with quid.

Quid isn't real money. Neither is dollars, or euros, or any of the other so-called "money" used by the developed nations of the world. It's fiat currency, with nothing whatsoever backing it. It is all based on two things: jack and shit.

Ihealyou 05-07-2010 05:04 PM

Fiat currency has value for the same reasons as anything else. People need money to buy things, accumulate wealth etc, creating a demand for money. Since there is a limited supply of money, it has value. Values for currency then change based on changes in supply and demand for that currency. Pretty much the only difference between gold and dollars is gold is shiny.

The idea of currency is based off of trust and belief. People use modern money because we have been told that it is worth the number that is printed on the paper. Otherwise, it is just a piece of paper. There is no difference between a 100 dollar bill and a 1 dollar bill other than the amount of 0s.
