November 20, 2002-7:50 p.m. This afternoon my friend Larry called me asking if I knew where he could exchange some money he had gotten in Mexico for US dollars. �The bank.� He said he had 1000 pesos that he wanted to exchange and he was going to call his bank. A friend of his had told him that 1000 pesos is about worth $100 US. Evidently the bank told him that they did indeed do currency exchanges because he went to the bank expecting to leave with $100. When he got to the teller�s window, she informed him that he had 1000 lira instead of 1000 pesos. Instead of leaving the bank with $100, he left with 46�! **Disclaimer: All characters in this diary are fictional.
