Todays Foreign Exchange rate says 1USD=3045 Uganda Shillings. Incredibly, for the entire 8 years during Amins days in Uganda, One US Dollar was only Seven Uganda Shillings (yes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Shillings). That's how strong Uganda's currency was. When they say nasty things about Uganda's economy in the 70's, they are creepy liars. For those who weren't there, it is simply impossible to have an exchange rate that strong if there is a weak economy. These numbers alone show that the "illiterate Amin" did far better in national macro-economics than todays PHD holders.
