Sun Who, Mrs PN in US Army base at Vicenza. Asks female in civvies if the Burger King took Lira. "I don't know," she said, "they have Italians in there so I don't go in."
Ramstein, en route US-UK, a US Major, also in transit, wanted to use the telephone. Curiously it only took DM. Even though Germany had not been on my route I was able to give him change. The Spam in movements didn't have any funny money on him.
Curious isn't it; any UK base anywhere uses local currency.
