If 1CD equaled >1 USD then it is worth more than the USD.
That is funny!!i always liked the t shirt that said "if i had 60 cents for every time i had a dollar, id be canada" guess its not true anymore.
That is funny!!
The Canadian guys I works with call it the 'Canadian Peso'
A few years ago a USD would buy you 1.5 CDs. We used to hold a lot of meetings in Vancouver in very nice hotels and it would cost next to nothing. We stopped going as the dollar weakened. I am off to Spain tomorrow and dreading the currency conversion. The dollar is very weak against the Euro. Earlier this years I was in London. Bought a 6" subway sandwich meal and it cost me almost $14 USD.

Of course, Great Brittain never bought in to the Euro business. I believe they are still the British Pound. And it has always been expensive in England.

I have a "Cheap Eats" London guide which is 20 pounds pp. 80 bucks for two people - that is considered "cheap eats" in London. ouch.
One place I like to go in London is a malasian place near Victoria and Buckingham Palace.
It was 75-100 pounds for one person. OUCH. I won't be eating there anytime soon.
I ate at a French restaurant up in Totenham Court area last January, 15o pounds just for me. I only had 1-glass of wine too!
Indian restaurant down by Kensington was 50 pounds per person. London is now the most expensive city in the world to go out and eat. Made Tokyo look real cheap when I was there week before last.

I don't know how Londoners do it. I just don't.
When I looked at a job in London, the rule was the pay in *pounds* would need to be about the same as the pay in * dollars... iow if you got $150,000 dollars here, you'd be looking at asking for pay of 150,000 UKP over there.

It happened. Intra-day of 1 USD = .9995 CAD. Currently sits at 1.0018/24.

A copy of Bush's Yale transcript posted at the humorous website GeorgeWBush.org states that the president received grades of 71 and 72 in Economics. The president took the course during successive semesters of his sophomore year, 1965-66.
