currency

The currency in Burkina Faso is called the Franc CFA.  One U.S. dollar is exchanged for around 450 CFA.
Below you see the 1000 CFA.  This is the price of a bottle of mango juice.

 2000 CFA.  The traditional grilled chicken I've mentioned costs 2500 CFA.  

 The 200 CFA coin can purchase a bar of soap, for example.  

The 100 CFA coin can buy an egg.  With 50 Francs I can buy a small red onion at the neighbor's produce stand.  

500 Francs comes in either a coin or a small bill. 

Below is pictured the 25 CFA coin, front and back. 

Learning to use a new kind of money.  It's also the best way to learn two- and three-digit numbers in French.
