4. Cash collection voucher (vietnam)
If we ever think that money can buy everything, it is not. Vietnam in the 70s money serves as a collection of pieces that vouchers can only be used to buy clothing and equipment.
Maybe if we had to cut one piece to pay for clothes, partly to pay for pants, and partly to a belt.
5. Silver coins plus bonus holy water (Kep. Palau)
