The difference in between "Sell" and "Exchange" is only in legal
terms...just like "noise" and "sound" are different in legal terms for us
techs. Lawyers, Politicians, they all need to just go away. ;)

My thesaurus lists "sell" and "exhange" as synonyms. Is this a
distinction without a difference? Also, I don't know if you noticed,
but right after saying that you cannot sell dollars, you speak about
what might not happen when selling one's dollars. (Which cannot be
done.) :-) Or did I miss your point somewhere along the way?
