[Dx-qsl] fresh new bills

Tue Jan 27 19:20:03 EST 2015

It really isn't that hard to understand.  Banks and money exchanges  get 
foreign currency fresh from the government of the issuing country  
(hopefully).  It isn't circulated in that country, so they are new  bills.  A few years 
ago, in preparation to a trip to Ireland, I went to the  currency exchange 
unit of the bank for which I worked .  I was issued razor  sharp Irish punt 
bills (yes, before they went to the euro), unlike the used ones  I received 
as change in Eire.

Well, an answer is the same.
The Japanese post offices  with currency exchanging capabilities provide 
"absolutely spotless"  USD.

It is very easy for us to  get green stamps.
The relatively larger post offices and banks which are  located in the 
cities
provide the currency exchange services.
Especially  for the relatively larger post offices, they have a lot of US$1.
They may  know the purpose of us?
(The hams living in some rural areas may have some  problems.)

Let's  give the Japanese ops their due in a couple of areas though.    (I
operate also as HS0ZAR and we work a lot of JA's from  there).

1.  How do those JA's get these pristine, absolutely  spotless green stamps
when I can't get them from my own bank here in the  U.S.?

2. At least Japan still sells IRC's, which are still required by  some
managers in CIS countries.
