I'm rich!

I found 5 Bolivars fuertes on the beach yesterday, wedged in the sand, getting washed over by the waves. As I walked back to our group, I couldn't believe my luck! I'm rich I thought! I'll buy something cool! And then as I sat down on my towel, the truth set in. Clutched in may hand sat approximately one dollar and 16 cents. Yay... But, it is orange, with armadillos, so I guess it was still a little exciting.
