Amazing. There's no blue Falklands Pound! And yet the South Atlantic seabed is carpeted with German and argie wrecks. It seems that you can mint coins, destroy enemies and run decent economies. Why can't argieland do that?

Jan 04th, 2015 - 11:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the argentine peso is crap, i don't deny it.
but to think that that toy money you isleters call “falklands pound” (LOL) is hard currency, only shows your huge degree of ignorance.
not a surprise, though.
i know that none of you have never left the stinky islets.
but trying to exchange that toy money in a foreign country would be a misión imposible.
and that, burra que no sabe nada, is because nobody wants it.
as for the insults and stuff, i guess it is because you are a boca sucia.
a mal educada.
what else do you expect after having “studied” in that community school?
eh?
We will be back !!!
Jan 04th, 2015 - 11:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0if it aint in the next 30 years or so,
you will never know abt it, as you will most certainly be dust.
Do not forget to make some coins when you usurped The Malvinas islands in January 1833!!!

Jan 05th, 2015 - 06:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0Don't you forget to make some coins of when you were rightfully evicted in 1982.
Oh thats right, you have done so.
Oh well, go make some coins of when you were(also rightfully)evicted in 1833,
“go away coins” or “Blimey,we're out of here” coins.
@9 José Malodorous,
You may well be back, as POWs, who we will keep as slaves.
With a mentality like yours, its all you're good for anyway-slavery.!
@14 paulcedron,
You have no idea where l was educated, or to what standard l reached.
As its absolutely NONE of your business, l will not enlighten you.

Yes-we'll issue a coin to celebrate the British citizens crewing the Sarandi (the majority of Pinedo's men) that refused to fight their own people (and who were kicked out) and the South Americans like Rivero who elected to stay under British rule and were allowed to stay.
You still haven't worked out that more British people than South Americans were ejected in 1833, have you?
Take your time, you'll get it eventually.........
