The Value of a Shilling

Just an observation that Nikki and I were discussing last night - what is the value of a shilling? Mathematically speaking, at the moment about 75 ksh (Kenyan shillings) equal $1 but, unless you're trying to figure out how much money you have in your bank account, that's irrelevant.

400 ksh - A taxi ride from Adams to my house at Dagoretti Corner that took about 5 minutes
400 ksh - The cost of Heather's swank braids that took about 5 hours

Something here isn't computing...
