Al Cap had it right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_Slobbovia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_Slobbovia His parody of the USSR, where Russia was upper slobbovia and the East Bloc countries were Lower Slobbovia. Their monetary unit was the "Rasbucknik", of which one was worth nothing, and a large quantity was worth even less, due to the trouble of lugging them around. Conditions couldn't be worse, as tourists were readily assured by the miserable, highly vocal residents. One day a US beggar washed up on the shores of Lower Slobbovia, he had almost nothing, just a Lincoln penny. Instantly he became the wealthiest man in the country, bought everything in sight, lived in a palace etc etc. Al Capp did it well. Much of his stuff would be politically incorrect these days, so google him. Of course, to him the Rouble was the Rasbucknik, of course, it may well go lower....
