Living with a Comedian - Foreign Currency

Foreign Currency came up while MJB and I were carpooling this morning. Here is the story he relayed on our commute together:

I told you about that right? I was in line at the grocery store. You know how there are a lot of African immigrants in our area? Well the guy in front of me was trying to buy food with a third party, goverment issued check...Drawn on a bank in Burundi, Eastern Africa...And he had no ID.

The Checker was like "Uhhhh...I have no idea how to deal with this, there's no 'button' for Burundi."

"Oh, just give him the groceries," I thought. "You can't figure this out before the food rots anyway..."
