“Comrade Banker, I have 10,000 zloty I want to deposit in your bank, but how do I know it will be safe?”
“Comrade, we are the largest cooperative bank in Poland. I assure you, your money is safe!”
“But what if your bank should fail?”
“Comrade, then the minister of finance will support our bank. There is nothing to worry about. Your savings are safe.”
“But what if the Ministry of Finance should fail?”
“Comrade, there is nothing to worry about. The whole of the Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa will stand behind the Ministry of Finance, and our bank, and your savings. They are safe!”
“But what if the government should fail? And my money made worthless.”
“Comrade, our socialist brothers to the east, the Soviet Union, stands prepared to support Poland, and the Ministry of Finance, and this Bank, and your savings! Please, comrade. You can trust this bank.”
“But what if the Soviet Union should fail? Where would that leave me.”
“No, comrade, your money would not be safe then. But certainly, that would be worth 10,000 zloty!”
