The discussion, although beginning on the relatively high plane of depreciation of currencies developed finally into a give and take argument on why you could buy a steak dinner in Canada for 50 cents when its costs $1.25 here, taking into consideration the fact that the Canadian dollar is worth 99 cents in U. S. money.
