They don't have the dollar sign on Czech typewriters, so they type USD instead. In Europe you often find a dash -- in place of a double-0 to the right of a decimal point, especially with amounts of money. So yes, USD 68.-- does mean $68.00. The letter-writer from the Czech archives probably never dreamed you would find this perplexing. -- Gary N. Deckant bs039@yfn.ysu.edu Youngstown, Ohio
