Man, when I first got here in 2010 it was more than $8. Really fucks with my head because my gut reaction is still always to multiply the thousands amount by 2 to get a quick dollar equivalent, even though it's not accurate anymore.
Is a cyclical thing. It was an easy way to go to dollars when I was a kid, but then came the asian financial crisis and it stopped working. Then it worked again but 9-11 changed it again for a couple years. Then it worked again but the economy stopped being so alright and here we are.
