Currency chart ?

There are several on-line charts. I find this one easy to use:

XE - Universal Currency Converter

Just use your basic math skills you learned in grade school. If such place is giving you 35 pesos to the dollar......just times it by the dollar.

Use increments of 10....10 Us=350 pesos.....for 20 x by 2.......for 5 / by 2
Of course im using a round number which makes it easy. In most cases ive seen in stores and such, they usually give rounded off prices like 33, 34, 35, and not the actual of 33.45 and so on.

Seems much quicker to me than having a piece of paper to look up, and of course when someone sees you doing this, they know you have no clue, and maybe take advantage.

Our parents always told us those basic math skills will come in handy one day!!!!

I think she is looking for a site were she can get the current rate of exchange, so that she can do the math.
At least, that is all that xe does, gives the up-to-the-minute rate of exchange as it fluctuates through the day, and there is no paper involved, it is simply $1 = x pesos, given online.

xs is really not upto the minute, while they may be live world rates you will find different rates in the DR, never using a decimal point.
Simple way is divide the peso prices by 3 and you will have approximate US dollars.

Well, not true exactly. They never use decimal points on the street, but they use them all the time in banks. And when you are talking about .50 and up, it can add up quickly.

Let's see 34.65 x $1000 = 34,650 pesos, while 34 x $1000 = 34,000 pesos. With 650 pesos you can get a decent meal and a few Presidentes. It might be worth it to use the bank and the decimal point.

Also, dividing the peso price by 3 might be the simple way, but is it worth losing over 10% of your money on every transaction? Not to me it's not.
