Have you known about a seven-dollar note? No, neither had I until what is currently my new most loved wearing keepsake was in a real sense gave to me by a retailer in Fiji over the course of the end of the week. And all it cost me was $3.50.

In the event that things are now getting confounding, let me improve and backtrack a bit. I'm right now in Fiji on a short family get-away, for the accompanying reasons: It is a jaw-droppingly magnificent spot, individuals here are the most joyful on the planet (as per a 2014 study) and, in the event that you live in Los Angeles, it is entirely modest as traveling to most American objections assuming that you're reserving late for a Memorial Day weekend trip.

Fiji, a stunningly lovely assortment of islands in the South Pacific, is sports-fixated, and the virtual sum of that fixation is rugby. Fijians love it. Each and every item in the general store appears as though it is embraced by the public group. Kids play rugby in the city, in the recreation area, at the pool, at school, out of school and on the ocean front.

Regardless of a populace of simply under 1,000,000, Fiji is confirmation that a profound love for one movement prompts splendid outcomes. In rugby sevens, the abbreviated rendition of the game that has been essential for the last two Olympics, Fiji punches well over its weight.

In the 2020 Tokyo Games rescheduled to the previous summer, the men's crew secured gold for the subsequent straight time, destroying rugby heavyweights New Zealand, Australia and Great Britain en route. The flood of public delight was out of this world, to such an extent that the public authority said to hell with the extremely old standards of cash masteries, and went with fortunate No. 7.

The Fijian seven-dollar note is a wonderful sight as well, hued in gold (obviously), highlighting the picture of the successful Olympic crew singing the public song of praise at the decoration function and commander Osei Kolinsau looking upward. The ongoing swapping scale to U.S. Dollars is 2:1, subsequently the $3.50 valuation.

For somebody who geeks out about sports however much I do, startlingly getting the banknote as change in a lodging gift shop was a genuinely wondrous turn of events. Here you can initiate a discussion about sports with without question, anybody you meet, for however long it is about rugby. The nearby paper had 14 pages on Saturday, every last bit of it committed to the game local people love.

In 22 years as a sportswriter, I've been remarkably fortunate to observe a portion of the world's most noteworthy occasions, however there have likewise been times when other, more nearby encounters, have either landed not long previously or soon after my excursion to a country. For instance, on a work visit to Japan quite a long while prior, the greatest sumo wrestling competition of the year started only hours after I had left.

This time, be that as it may, I hit it big. Our appearance in Nadi corresponded with game day for the Fijian Drua, a club contained predominantly of the Fiji public group crew, and which plays against establishments from Australia and New Zealand in Super Rugby - one of the most grounded club rivalries on the planet.
