Currency Challenge...

Imagine...when you go to pay your next month's mortgage or rent payment, the landlord or the bank ask you to no longer pay in $US dollars, but to convert your payment into Mexican pesos, or gold, according to the exchange rate on the first of each month.  

I have discovered in Albania that landlords want the monthly rent in currency that is not Albanian...the Lek.  They ask for payment in Euros or $US dollars...and it varies each month according to the strength of each currency.

Praise God....my landlord will allow me to pay each month in a flat rate Lek fee...no exchanging of currency or computing the exchange rate.
