On Dinosuars+ Robots, Mister Jalopy points us to this crazy-cool atomic age fiberglass bike featured on Nostalgia.net. The bike was designed and prototyped in 1948 and sold for one yea, by Bowden, in 1960.

    How much is one yea?

  2. SlyBevel says:

    One Yea, of course, being a unit roughly approximate to a dozen kiloflots.

    The debate rages to this day whether a single Yea is a ridiculously large currency denomination, or if Flots are simply inflated to the point of obviation.

    I believe you can trade them indirectly (and informally) on the Dinar markets, but I wouldn’t ask it in open company.
