looks like still the same ... 0,00083. Looks like 208.3 was divided by 250... that = 0.83. Sorry

Skrapppyone, ur math is wrong...if u multiply 208.3 million dollars x 1166dinar/1dollar= 242.8 billion dinars....so those numbers mentioned are correct....

do like seawolf and divide 208.3 by 250..........Its ok......like I said I was just wanting input.  thank you.
