My Haitian father recalls 518 gourdes for 100 dollars US back in 1988

The Haitian Gourde vs The US Dollar

"Back in 1988, I exchanged 518 gourdes for $100 US because I neede money to travel to the United States," my father said.

Compare that to 10,300 gourdes needed nowadays for the same 100 dollars US today.
