Money

Haitians use the Haitian Gourd but when they talk about money, they use the Haitian Dollar. When someone in Haiti tells you "This costs $5.00" it will cost approximatley $0.60 U.S. cents; which is 25 Gourds. Confused? No worries!
 
Haitian Dollars to Haitian Gourds to U.S. Dollars
1. Multiply the amount of Haitian Dollars by Five which will give you the total in Gourds
2. Divide the total amount of Gourds by 40 (approximatley*) to get the total for U.S. Dollars

U.S. Dollars to Haitian Gourds to Haitian Dollars
1. Multiply the total U.S. Dollar amount by 40 to get the total in Haitian Gourds
2. Divide the total amount of Haitian Gourds by 5 to get the total in Haitian Dollars

                                                            Voila!
