Title: Strong Dollar?
Post by: lisarenee on September 22, 2015, 11:20:07 AM
I was looking into prices (for SRS) and running a few exchange rates, I noticed the US Dollar seems to be doing quite well right now. Assuming the prices on TS Surgery Guide (http://www.tssurgeryguide.com/) still hold true, that makes Brassard (Canada) and Supporn (Thailand) less than $15,000 for SRS at the current exchange rates.

A few years ago, one US Dollar was worth 2 BR Reais.

Today it reached 4,05 Reais.

It's getting really tough for brazilians who import a lot of stuff. But its also getting better for people here who work for companies overseas, like illustrators and colorists.

I would expect not. Don't blame me for laughing at how you phrased the news.
