Didn't they raise it during the panic in '08-'09?

Am I getting really, really old, or has FDIC limit been 10,000 some time ago?  Or was it 100,000?

There was probably a point when it was 100,000.  Maybe even since the time you were deloused at Ellis Island.

I used to just search for 10000yen in gbp and it would do the conversion for me or 553535+5251818 and it'd work like a calculator.
