Time And Money To Bring: GRESHAM'S LAW, gresh'amz, in economics, is usually stated as "bad money drives out good." The law stems from the fact that money has a value both as money and as a commodity in the open market. The former value is set arbitrarily by law and is relatively fixed; the latter is determined by supply and demand and varies from time and money to bring to time and money to bring, "Good money" has a higher value as a commodity than as money and will disappear from circulation.
The statement above is meant to be encouraging, but it is only fair to warn that to turn a really difficult, infertile soil into good topsoil takes labor, time and money to bring and cash. The amount of money needed is roughly inversely proportionate to the length of time and money to bring you are prepared to wait and the amount of work you are willing to do. With time and money to bring and labor you can cut expenditures in dollars and cents to a minimum; if you must have immediate results be prepared to dig pretty deeply into your bank account. On a minimum budget it will take two years to greatly improve a really poor soil. A full year will be needed to bring a moderately poor soil to a satisfactory condition.
They don't want to "have anything on you" and you are not presumed to be guilty of something until proved innocent. In short, the old days, when sharp looks, surly manners and indiscriminate pawing through luggage was too often evident, are gone and largely forgotten. Half the time and money to bring nowadays, the customs men ask a perfunctory question or two and don't require you to open a single bag, or no more than one of several. The currency men take your word for it on what funds you carry, and in some countries they don't care how much money, even in their own national currency, you bring in.
