Normally I would rate a Rebus - such as this - in terms of creativity and difficulty very highly.
But the Editors have approved a Rebus with the use of "multiple" (letters/words) for usage in the singular sense.
On the very day they have rejected FOUR of mine for the same construction (different bodies, context, answers, and creativity, however).
If the Editors had been fair and unbiased they would have rejected this teaser as --
"Foreigns Currency" which is a nonsense phrase, or ....
... approved (at least) one of mine.
Tokyo never looked better today. The smog was running at only 44%.
