    Apparently it’s contracted braille.

    Contracted (Grade 2) braille is used by more experienced braille users. It uses the same letters, punctuation and numbers as uncontracted (Grade 1) braille but adds a series of special signs to represent common words or groups of letters, a bit like a kind of shorthand.

    Books, magazines and other information tends to be produced in contracted braille, to cut down on size. Contracted braille produces much less bulky books and magazines.




  • People above said this is probably just using the $ for pesos, which would make this about $2USD.

    As for US food prices, it varies a lot depending on where you are. Where I live, fast food meals are usually $7-10 and nicer sit down restaurants are $10-20.

    I visited Norway about 10 years ago, at the time the food there was more expensive for a lot less food. The drinks weren’t unlimited refills either. Beautiful countryside though.
