What's The Connection? Dollars 1

This one is always fun. Money, even if it's fiat money, is always fun. As long as you have it. This is all about the Dollars. I already had a Money connection and there is at least one double with that connection and this one (Barenaked Ladies). It even looks like I made a part two, but never posted it (so look for Money 2 coming soon). This Dollar one has old and new songs. From a single dollar to a billion, it's in here. And more to come for this one, too. The last track on this volume is from the TV show. Just think Steve Austin. What was the sound he made when he jumped? And another one when he focused with his bionic eye? Hard to watch that show with my dad, because he would always point out the flaws when the producers/writers would break the laws of physics. I still liked the show anyway.

  1. This is what a Gulden looked like in 1980

    The songs don't fit your bill.
    Songs about Guldens are often what we used to call Pirate songs. This means that they were pirates against the mainstream Dutch Radio who normally did not play "that kind of music". Tony Bass; Tante An; Jan & Peet; Sybil & Wiel.
    Het Cocktail Trio was more refined, as they would say.
    De Kift - Guldentje Meer De Kift is a great band.

    2. when you have coins they are not worth anything. Unless you have old gold/silver coins obvs.
      Paper. the older 5 & 25 can be exchanged for euros till 1 may, the other, more modern paper 10-25-50-100 guilders can still be exchanged at the Dutch National Bank. for 1 euro to 2,2 guilders aprox.
