One of our National Monitors needed US dollars (judging by the amount, probably for a air ticket), and since I was running a little short on Sudanese pounds I offered to do the exchange at the official rate...![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrB6ex65tVgPgIAWYvXCc6gghk2kWGweCDtTVuRsLiqwSWcPJ3zC8cnFTWSawNbJvDg8rUkVquoHAPJIjGWNVpsvYqPoHpOLx9tw8oMPeAOd-j9oHOoEbqepsiyHE4DVGa9AomRmzenXQ/s320/Image027.jpg)

So he got 12 bills, I got 82... a stack an inch thick when compressed.
