時間改變

October 29th, 2006301

time

每逢10月的最後一個星期天的淩晨一時,即是今天開始實施冬令時間,和澳門的時差由慢15小時變成慢16小時

我最不喜歡冬令時間,因為下午5時已經天黑得像半夜一樣,連出外也沒有心情。唯一好處就是這個星期天多了一小時,即是今天有25小時,可以用來做模型…

各位致電時請留意新的時差喔。

罕有美金

前幾天半夜出外購物時,因身上有大量現金而不使用卡付款,到找錢時發現收銀員找了一張很像八十年代的二十元鈔票給我,認真看一看才知這是兩元鈔票。我來了一年多才首次見這款鈔票,回家後便在維基翻查一下,結果發現這種兩元鈔票流通性極低,很多人甚至不知道有兩元的存在。想不到現在我擁有一張,還真幸運。

In spite of its relatively low value, the two dollar bill is one of the most rarely-seen denominations of U.S. currency. This is mainly due to the low production of the note; approximately 1% of all notes currently produced are $2 bills. This low production has lead to an overall lack of public knowledge of the $2 bill and has also inspired urban legends about it. There are also folk beliefs centering on the $2 bill.

此外,其實我還有數個五毫子、一元的硬幣和一張首四個號碼為「8888」的一元鈔票,這兩種硬幣在市面也是十分罕見的。前兩者是去年一起住的日本朋友送的,後者則從美國什麼部門那裡買回來,總之就是十分難得吧。
