That can't be right, should be lower than R9 back then?

even less -> http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=ZAR&view=5Y

thought you were referring to $ (oops)

Not last 5 years. About 8 years ago was when it was at the level you're thinking of.

Keep in mind I'm referring to Euro here.

5 years ago it was under R10?

Nope. Euro was last under R9 in January 2011.

5 years ago it was under R10?

Yup. And?

You said the last time it was that low was 5 years ago but it actually only started to climb around Oct 2012.

Well he said it was under R9 5 years ago, which it wasn't. It was 6 years and 1 month ago.

Except that I actually paid when it went up and got my commission when it went down. So I always get screwed no matter which way it goes. For once I'd just like R15 levels at a time when it favours me.
