According to the bathroom scales, my jersey weighs only a pound. It

But of course it weighs more now that I can't get dollar bills and do
have a pint of quarters.
Over here it is different. We used to have prices in single "baht"
and/or fractions there of. Like 1 baht 50, and one had to carry
coins. Now with all the "progress" here prices are now in multiply
bahts and what used to cost 1 baht 50 stang (coins) now cost 20 baht
and we can use paper money :-(
