50 Centavos
It depends where the centavos are from. I used to live in Honduras an awful long time ago and 50 centavos would have been 25 cents.
50 pesos is 50 US cents. Before the devaluation of the Mexican currency, there were centavo coins in circulation, but they were worthless. The mexicans welded them together and sold them as ashtrays (really!)
The big problem with converting third world currencies is the high amount charged by banks to do so. So many people just keep the money. However, there are charities which specialize in accepting foreign currencies. Because of the volume of transactions they do, and their status, they get much better exchange rates from their bank. So, you get a tax receipt for the wholesale rate of exchange (which is much higher than the retail rate you would get at a bank). The amount you save on your taxes isn’t quite as much as you would get from exchanging your currency, but it’s a reasonable alternative to either of the normal options.
Less than 5 cents….the ratio was 12 to 1.
