Converation this morning with one of my smartass buyers who is from Lebanon (and hates Hezbollah):

Me: I didn't catch the news this morning. How are things in Lebanon?

Him: They're GREAT! There's been a high unemployment rate, but Nasrallah's caused the whole place to be bombed and destroyed, so there'll be a lot of work now rebuilding it. Everybody will have jobs.

Me: (laughing) OK, I deserved that. Now, let me re-phrase the question...

I heard there was a run on dollars, and the banks only have Euros, and Lebanon is printing money to keep up with the outflow from the banks.

A lot of folks dont want Euros, so they are issuing debit cards for the account.
