Not for a while now. And I am sure you missed the "y.e." sign after that "250". Either way, I am not getting the reason for controversy here. Yes, we have got people from many countries in this forum, and they are not all supposed to speak perfect English. And yes, quoting prices in USD or EUR is pretty acceptable, given the popularity and relative stability of these currencies. I have no idea why it should cause problems.
