foreign currency

The other night I was looking for some Taiwanese currency. I thought I had some leftover from the last time I was there, over 20 years ago.

Instead I found some Euros, Deutschmarks, Pesos, and Canadian currency. (Oh, and even a Turkish bill of seemingly large denomination, but is probably worth only a few cents. -- Can't remember where I got it. I've never been to Turkey.)

But no NT.

(Hmm. Where did it go?)
