<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 2741595, member: 87200"]Yup. Maybe 1 loaf of flat bread? Subsidized bread remains a staple in the middle east. In Egypt last time I was there I bought five loaves of flat bread for 25 piastres. 100 piastres to the Egyptian pound and 6.2 Egyptian pounds to the dollar. Works out to about 1 cent per loaf. Of course, you have to go early in the morning to the bakeries frequented by average everyday Egyptians, not the tourist outlets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
