Minguo's 98 would be year 2009 in normal calendar.

Or I see it wrongly? Take a detailed look on the image attached, the expiry date of the voucher is stated year 98 month 9 day 30?

As you said it's a chicken egg story... each country will have to come out with their own survival plan which suit its situation. Can't really tell if the voucher plan could work in long term... it's reported that the Taiwanese government might have a second (or continuous) round or vouchers distribution if it works well in short.

But as a foreigner I'd like to get hold of one of those as a collectors item lol. In the US they tried to issue tax rebates and it didn't work. Although it wasn't the same as these vouchers and not being redemable as cash, the main problem is still jobs and layoffs. The people can spend the money given them but then they still don't have a job so, it does very little. And new business startups are slow because of tight lending by banks. But even so, starting a new business has to have people buying. So it's like they say, an engine that's stalled and nobody knows which element it will take to get it running again. Kind of the Chicken egg problem in a way. Hmm, don’t know if something like that will stimulate the economy long term or not.
