USA! USA! USA!

Hola todos,

As much as people can dislike us Americans, they do love our currency. It is worth quite a bit in Argentina and Uruguay. In Uruguay, you can take our dollar bills and by getting them exchanged at a currency exchange store, you get a lot of money; more than if you were to just take out Uruguayan pesos. When I was in Uruguay, we had lunch, and we discovered, (we didn't have any Uruguayan pesos) that if we were to pay with the Argentine peso, it would have cost equivalent to US$60, but paying with the dollar, it would cost US$45! A lot of people come to Uruguay so that they can take our dollars and then go back to Argentina to exchange them there.
Who would've thought that everyone would love our currency, even when charging us US$160 to enter their country?? (Luckily, there's no reciprocity fee to get into Uruguay).
USA USA USA!!
