[Feel free to correct my English, please]

Bien hecho, Atxeko. Your English is "perfecto"! Things like love, friendship, and beautiful scenery are certainly not bought, but appreciated! Bien frase! - bandit51jd, Aug 18, 2013

Good quote. We say "Lo barato sale caro". (Cheap ends up being expensive) - 003492fc, Aug 20, 2013

I guess I'm not a very good shopper! Are these, teas, coffees, or some kind of perfume! lol - bandit51jd, Aug 18, 2013

@bandita....probably the r is for reales (currency). - 0095ca4c, Aug 18, 2013

Rand is a currency. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_rand - 003492fc, Aug 18, 2013

hehe..atxeko...we posted at the same time...great minds :-) - 0095ca4c, Aug 18, 2013

"Cambio" alone might cause confusion. The most common term is "Tipo de cambio" - 005faa61, Aug 18, 2013

By the way, in a day to day shopping activity, when you pay a 16€ shirt with a 20€ bill/note, "el cambio" is 4€. But "exchange rate" is translated as "tipo de cambio". - 003492fc, Aug 18, 2013

Jajaja. I see Margherite. The same thing happened to me with JulianChivi. It`s crowded. Which is good. :-D - 003492fc, Aug 18, 2013

Sorry....allowed.... - bandit51jd, Aug 19, 2013

Yes, Pam, you can either do the number symbol or I leave a space -- 1. and another space. Barkha it has to do with how SD formats the text. - bandit51jd, Aug 19, 2013
