Candy currency

Some things are just too "sweet" to be true.

Tonight, for the second time since I arrived in Zambia, I received candy as change at the cash register.  The 50 and 100 kwacha notes (worth about 1 and 2 Canadian cents respectively) can sometimes be in short supply.  So, when making change, the cashiers sometimes just throw in some "penny candy" to keep the customers happy.

  1. Imagine if they did away pennies here what our waistlines might start looking like! Hope the candy was good. You missed freezing rain and a bit of snow today. :)
