Am accumulating cowries shells for just such a time! Boss very soon money will lose value ( it is already doing so in Kenya anyway) So what do you and I do? You get a good hold of commodities.. Oil, gold, diamonds, land,house,beans, eggs, avocados, water etc... this things will much more worth than money. In an bid to cut down costs, he middlemen will be cleaned out and it will be back to real economy. Barter! Watu wajipange vilivyo. do not say you were not warned! This reminds me of a Tanzanian trader I met last week in Nairobi. He buys steel products (nails, wire mesh, chain link) from Nairobi and exports to Dar-Es salam. The guy said there is completely no hard currency in Dar. He is forced to take rice & beans to DRC and Rwanda in exchange for US$, then come buy goods from Kenya. apparently the only way to make a good cut
