That could be very interesting. Everybody around the world knows what one dollar is. But what could you buy for one dollar in your country? in germany we are paying with €uros. and if i´m right, € 0,98 are $ 1,-. i would say you could buy a tin cat´s food for € 0,98. or 7,5 ltr. mineral water. you couldn´t buy 1 ltr. benzine. i´ve paid € 1,14 at last.

Sorry, but its not so correct, $1 are 0,78 Euro. Who you buy your cat food, that`s really expensive, i buy cat food for 0,35 cent.

With $1 in Indonesia; you could buy some bread, or a big gallon of mineral water, or 2kgs of rice, or and of course a litre of petrol. It's pretty much alright, the one dollar, in Indonesia. Though you couldn't live your day with only 1 USD.

In America you can buy some candy, bottled water, bottled soda. Maybe some snack cakes. Anything off the McDonalds value menu before taxes. Or you could go to the dollar store and buy something there. Many products to choose from.

For a dollar in Canada, I could by two newspapers, a small coffee, a chocolate bar, 1/2 a loaf of bread, and almost 2 postage stamps. So, not too much.

england is not the cheapest country to life. but in germany i pay € 0,70 ($ 0,69) for a newspaper. that´s also not very cheap. and milk i think it´s the same price in germany.
