This is a collection of short stories, each dealing with customs and cultures of a different country. The unusual plots bring out bits of interesting history that have been largely forgotten or distorted with time. Finally, philosophical issues related to the tales are thrown in to make for interesting reading.

In the global economy, goods, services, investments, loans, information and people move across national borders with growing freedom and rapidly increasing volumes. Each time such an individual event occurs, parts of two or more nation''s moneys change ownership. This book describes the significance of these monetary exchanges, their mechanics, and how money itself affects these cross-border events.
