1 dollar can actually buy many different things in the United States. You can also say you can't buy anything.
Because in some countries with high currency exchange rates, there will be some dollar stores and many daily groceries. For example, dollarma in Canada is a chain dollar store, but there are many things in it, which are bigger than some ordinary supermarkets in our country, and they are all one dollar. There will definitely be similar stores in America. So to put it more popularly, a dollar can actually buy a lot of things in America.
In the United States, it costs $65,438+0.1by bus; It costs 1.75 dollars to take the subway. There is also a monthly ticket for transportation, 30 yuan. A bottle of Clinique facial cleanser costs more than 200 RMB in China, and you can buy a set for $34.50 in the United States, including skin care. It costs $20,000 to buy a medium-sized car in America. Because human resources are relatively expensive, most of the United States have installed window air conditioners. You can just stick a card on the window when you go home, because labor money can almost buy an air conditioner.
It is worth noting that 1 USD equals 100 cents instead of 10 cents. 1 dollar can buy 2.4 liters of gasoline, one pound of chicken, half a pound of pork, one or two good beef or 10 degree household electricity, or two pounds of flour. In a word, you can't ignore the existence of $ 1, which plays an important role in life all the time. Although it can't solve the big problem, it exists in the corner of life and can't be ignored. Sometimes, when you need 1 USD urgently to solve this seemingly insignificant problem, you will feel that its role is absolutely decisive.
We can easily understand the purchasing power of 8 yuan RMB in China. With 8 yuan money, you may be able to buy a catty of good candy, a hearty breakfast, a decent Chinese meal or dinner, two bottles of carbonated drinks, two round-trip subways, and even a week's bus ride in Beijing, a pair of socks, a magazine and so on. And these, in fact, only cost a dollar.
When buying a small amount of goods, the purchasing power of the US dollar is relatively weak, and when buying a large number of goods, the purchasing power of the US dollar is very strong.
But in fact, you can't buy anything with a dollar, because in the United States, you have to pay tax when you buy something, which means that a commodity was originally $65,438 +0, but when you pay, the cashier will automatically increase the tax for you, which means you have to pay an extra dollar. So it's hard to buy anything unless you buy something very cheap in some shops. By the way, because the United States has to pay taxes on things, it still keeps cents, because taxes should be accurate to the minute, but China doesn't use them, so the country no longer issues RMB with a face value of 1 minute.
And it is also $ 1. At 438+00 on October 20th, 2065/KLOC-0, according to the foreign exchange rate quoted by China Bank, US$ 65,438+0 can only be converted into RMB 6.8273. Compared with the exchange rate of 1: 8.0333 four years ago, today's dollar has indeed lost some of its former glory. The depreciation of the dollar is not only a single decline of the dollar, but also an increase of the RMB exchange rate. So today, not only in the United States, but also in many other countries, the purchasing power of RMB is getting stronger and stronger. Especially the study abroad market in 2009.
The same is $65,438 +0. In the United States, you can also buy a pound of chicken, 10 degree household electricity, or 2.4 liters of gasoline. In China, with the increase of CPI, the RMB equivalent to about 7 yuan may only have one breakfast, a poor lunch, half a catty of good candy, or a subway ride.
1 USD, seemingly with a small face value, is not worth mentioning, but it reflects the trend of the world economy and tests the speed of China's economic development and the influence of RMB in the world. 1 USD, although its face value is very small, has given it tenacious vitality because of America's position in the world. The effect of a dollar is like the "butterfly effect", even a little vibration will cause panic in the world. A dollar bought in the United States and China is not only material, but also a tenacious contest between the United States and China in the world economic status.
