Apparently they're being used as currency, so I figured that I'd mention it.

Now that is a newsworthy story. Very cool. I've been trying it for years, but I get a lot of blank stares...Then angry faces...

Umm, beer bottle caps? Did you read the article, dear sir?

Beer bottle caps are being used as currency in parts of Cameroon, which is in the grips of a promotion frenzy by rival breweries.

Budweiser, heineken,miller, coors, michelob...

I wonder if different brands have different values.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Cameroon is way ahead of its time. Being an alcoholic is finally profitable.

It would certainly thrash traipsing all the way to S.A to collect on the bottles. Ehuehuehue.
