 get a set payrate for the ppl in South Africa: the $ to our Rand exchange is to high, 1 $ is about about R 10 here by us, I would gladly become a RIP member if it can be set in our Currency as well. it will just be so much easer.
Please think about the rest of the world that want to support Death fm but can't due to there countries poor economy and high exchange rates. |

I don't know what I can do about that. Lately the exchange rates have been working to people's favor due to the poor $USD.

Hm, three years ago, we had exchange rates of about 35,000 ROL (that's thirty-five thousands Romanian Lei) for 1$...

I can't put that into perspective. What does 35,000 ROL buy you?

Sounds like the value of the Deutschmark at the end of WWII.

Hm, let me see if I can remember: 3 breads or 6 eggs or a pack of lower quality cigarettes 
Meanwhile, the currency changed to RON (Romanian New Lei), they cut the trailing 4 zeros from the value so 1 RON = 10,000 ROL. Right now, the reference exchange rate is of $1 = 2,84 RON.
@SK: I could have slept on a (worthless) mattress of money
@CJ: the inflation was pretty high back then but let's look at the bright side: everyone was a millionaire
