United States Dollars and Peru Nuevos Soles

Hope I helped :).

im_confused_?!

i guess not..........for a year........cuz you need to pay for where you are living,man......

You could potentially live for 45 thousand years, if you spent only 1 sol per year.

I suppose it all depends on how you spend your money. The bills you have to pay (housing, utilities, food, etc) also affect how quickly your money goes. I will just go ahead and say that S./ 45,000 is a lot of money and would certainly last you a year if not more!

What can a sol get you... a sol can get you a bottle of soda, a chocolate bar, a call on a public phone, a few candies or cigarettes on the street... These are just a few that come to mind although there are many more.
