Not anything most of us don't know already, but a nice article.

Interesting article. I always enjoyed hearing 99% Invisible segments on SiriusXM PRX.

The Spanish connection seems the most plausible to me. The peso abbreviation idea is also interesting since $ is used as its symbol.

Thanks for posting!

Interesting. I believe I had read that somewhere before but it's always good to have a refresher. Thanks!
