COP or USD? Really hard to understand
[QUOTE=SBTiger;2242692]Everything around here is marked as $ and Nothing is marked K or KCOP, but they all mean COP. Check price for anything- restaurant menu to anything else it is all $.[/QUOTE]I cannot refrain from reposting here a story which I reported in this same thread a few times already.
Years ago, and I really cannot forget that, I met an idiot right at the arrival hall of the Medellin airport, at one of the ATMs right out of the door. He had just landed, as me. He was cursing loudly in front of the ATM, while I was waiting behind him. He then left the ATM telling me "NAW! ALSO THIS ONE GIVES DOLLARS! I WANT PESOS! Then he went away too quickly to let me reply anything.
Once in front of the ATM and I started the procedure, I realized what he meant: the ATM screen was proposing $150,000, $200,000, $300,000, etc.
That idiot, because only an idiot could think that, must have thought that the ATM was distributing hundreds thousand USDs??
(yes, contrary to your web site, the ATM screens does not omit the leading zeroes after the comma).
