Watch Your Money!!!
New money rule went into effect today.....
You can no longer spend the "old" style QR 500, 100 or 50 notes.
The release in the newspaper only mentioned 500 & 100 notes but the shops have been told to reject 50's also.
Be carefull...
* The new notes are fragile where that cellophane strip is especially if you fold your money as it is very close to the center....
* If the strip is damaged the note will be rejected....
* Shops wil not accept old notes or damaged notes but THEY WILL GIVE THEM TO YOU as change - so check every note...
This is another one of the bazaar things about living here, with all their resources they cannot make durable bank notes nor do they have an efficient method of replacing them. It is all left to the consumer like it is his fault. See you all at QNB after your notes have been rejected!!
Flano...

you'd probably volunteered to piss over me :-P
oh is it.....apologies.

Wasn't that against the burning only?
I used vinegar and ice... urine is the alternate solution for vinegar.
climber, depending on where the bite is urinate on it.

Question... entirely off-topic.
Since you are a pharmacist, what do you recommend against Jelly Fish bites?
When in the water I asked my friend - "when is Jelly Fish season", he answered 'not now', not even 30 seconds later.... BOEM..... burning HELL!!!! Wrist to biceps. Now 3 weeks rash, going away very very very very very slowwwww....

"if you don't like the heat... get out of the kitchen... but stop trying to fan the flames before you leave... it will burn you on the a** as you go through the doorway...." ME

You can exchange for the next 10 years but ONLY at QCB to official government bank.
They already denied my notes

It seems to me that if you have old notes you can always exchange them at a bank.
They can not just declare money invalid from one day to another.
Take a look.....

I also read the article in Gulf Times. I will try to find it. Yesterday I looked and found a couple old notes and took them to the exchange and they exchanged them no problem as yesterday was the last day of acceptance. Today I was embarrassed at lunch because they rejected my QR 50 note saying it was old. I replied it was only for 500 & 100 according to the article. They said 50's aso. I had to scrounge up every thing I had to pay the tab even though I had 3 "old" 50's. As usually in Qatar NOBODY ever knows the staight scoop on ANYTHING!!
Watch your money.
Now I have 3 50's with the headache of finding QNB the only place where you can be properly exchange them.
