The foreign currency in Tajikistan is in Somoni. The
fluctuation of exchange is seasonal. In 2011, 1 Somoni foreign exchange is
equivalent to $0.24. Living in a modest life, I can buy food cheaper in
"bozor" or public market. For instance, a kilo of cherry / staple
rice is about 5 Somoni ($1.18), egg per piece for 2 Somoni ($0.05) and so
forth. Otherwise, you can have a ready cook meal from a decent restaurants or
fastfood chains. In my case, I used to have proper meal in fastfood such as
western regular size of burger, potato fries and cola for about 10 Somoni
($2.36). In some point, ordering "shashlik"
in a local resto for more or less 20 Somoni ($4.73). Since I'm scheduled to go
back home that year. I managed to changed the Somoni bills and left 2 pennies
of Somoni as a token from this country.
Tajikistan Coins for a total of 4 Somoni ($0.95)
