Thanks to all those who responded to the request to determine "all the money in the world." It looked like the world was in good shape until uwvax!doug reported that he had -$13,700. Prior to his reply, all the money in the world amounted to $1827.34 and 2 Canadian dollars, 2 English pounds, 10 Israeli lire, 1 Israeli shekel, and 1 video token. The new total however is -$11872.66 plus the above assortment whose value is subject to fluctuations in exchange rates. Therefore, the world is operating in the red. (Does this bode well for communism?) So now instead of saying, "I wouldn't do that for all the money in the world," you can more precisely say, "I wouldn't do that for -$11872.66 plus the current market value of 2 Canadian dollars, 2 English pounds, 10 Israeli lire, 1 Israeli shekel, and 1 video token."
