When I found out the SI$ was changing to shells, I thought, "Sweet! I like shells." I used to collect shells way back in the day until my brother found my shell collection and decided it would be funny to crush them with his hammer just to make me cry.

Funny, that is, until he found that I had dumped all the shell scrapple into the gas tank of his new motorbike.

But enough about scrapple. What I like best about the new SI economy is that it's different from the real world. I'm really interested in money (that's why they call me "gmoney") and how other economies function with their unique currency. For instance, in Europe there's the Euro , in Mexico they have the Peso , in Japan it's the Yen  — and on Stagecoach Island, we rock the shell!

If you buy a hamburger  at your local burger joint for a US dollar, that same hold-the-pickles hamburger would cost 3.06 Euro, 29 Pesos, and 280 Yen. Wow — I find that fascinating! And the extra cool thing about this is that tomorrow the hamburger could cost 30 Pesos...it's always changing!

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the shell economy and new changes coming to SI. Find me in-world and maybe I'll buy you a burger (no pickles, of course).
