For example, today I went to eat with my girlfriend at an executive lunch restaurant (a cheap one) and the dish we ordered cost $3.52 each for a total of $7.04,

I asked for the bill in Venezuelan currency (BS) they told me it was a total of 666 BS.
so, to get that same amount of BS, I only have to sell $5,339 USD.

If I had paid in cash in dollars, I would have had to pay the full $7.04... crazy, right? Now imagine that with big numbers like $1,000 or $10,000, unbelievable!
