Strippers In Chile Stretch Your Dollar, Too

Tourists! Looking for a vacation destination that will stretch your worthless American dollar? The dancers in one Santiago, Chile nightclub are luring customers in by offering 2004 exchange rates. A practice so smart it made it onto Bloomberg’s website this month.

At banks and foreign-exchange bureaus, $1 fetches less than 430 pesos. Passapoga pays 600 pesos.

Passapoga’s special exchange rate means a 14,000-peso drink with one of the club’s 50 hostesses costs $23, instead of $32 at the market rate.

Now that’s a lapdance you can explain to your wife! Honey, I know that money came out of the kids’ college fund, but at these prices, it just makes sound economic sense.
