I think the Euro hit a low of $0.93 shortly after it was created. "The Economist" created the Big Mac Index in 1986 as a simple look at currency values and purchasing power. A Big Mac, which costs $4.79 in the United States, costs as much as $7.54 in Switzerland and as little as $1.20 in Ukraine. economist.com economist.com

Some examples converted to USD: Hot Dog: $43; Burger: $47; Caesar salad: $55.
