With inflation over 1000% per year - don't be shocked if you get quoted
millions of dollars for a launch. There is also an official exchange
rate and a more realistic unofficial exchange rate (about double to
triple the official rate).
I have a bottle of Orange Crush that a friend brought down about 6
months ago. The price on the bottle is $168 000 (probably about US$3).
The same bottle of Crush is now probably closer to 1/2 Million dollars
now.
