The Money Picture: A man with a collection isn't particularly hot copy for the magazines, because he doesn't, in most cases, display any ingenuity in acquiring his collection, but only a good deal of spare money or a lot of persistence. A man with an odd collection ordinarily makes just one picture, one only moderately interesting if it shows a proud individual surrounded by some sort of "loot." One-picture features are also hard to sell to the magazines. Sometimes, however, other pictures which will interest an editor may be staged. Incidentally, eccentric collections, rather than those notable for being extensive or complete, are the best bets for picture sales to magazines.GRESHAM'S LAW, gresh'amz, in economics, is usually stated as "bad money drives out good." The law stems from the fact that money has a value both as money and as a commodity in the open market. The former value is set arbitrarily by law and is relatively fixed; the latter is determined by supply and demand and varies from time to time, "Good money" has a higher value as a commodity than as money and will disappear from circulation.
The money picture is about the same for Luxembourg as for Belgium, but one caution is needed. Try not to be loaded up with Luxembourg currency when leaving the Grand Duchy since this is not so easy to exchange as Belgian. In Luxembourg, Belgian notes and coins are accepted everywhere on exactly the same basis as the local notes and coins. You may always ask for your change in Belgian money. |
