	Bank Jr - Money Around The World - Uruguay
		After averaging growth of five percent annually during 1996-98, in 1999 to 2002 the economy suffered a major downturn, stemming largely from the spillover effects of the economic problems of its large neighbors.
		For example, in 2001 to 2002, massive withdrawals by Argentina of dollars deposited in Uruguayan banks led to a plunge in the value of the Uruguayan peso.
		The economy is expected to resume growth in 2004 (perhaps four percent or more) as a result of high commodity prices for Uruguayan exports, the weakness of the dollar against the euro, growth in the region, low international interest rates, and great export competitiveness.

	Online Gold Special -- Uruguayan 5 Pesos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		But unlike the flash ending of the 1923 German mark (where it required 726 billion paper marks to buy what one mark could purchase in 1914,) it seems to be the sad legacy of many Latin American currencies to suffer "an endless death" at the inflationary hands of their official custodians.
		But alas, the New Peso also fell victim to these same inflationary trends, and was itself supplanted in turn at a rate of 1-for-1,000 NP in March 1993 by the "newer" peso which is currently in circulation today at 12 pesos [(1/1,000 NP) (1/1,000 old pesos)] per U.S. dollar.
		As with Germany, for those who were wise enough to be holding their currency in the form of these gold coins instead of paper notes or bank deposit accounts, the intrinsic value of the gold in the coin preserved their purchasing power for real goods over time, thus preserving their monetary wealth.

		Due to the inflation of the Uruguayan peso and other economic factors, many Jews were forced to close the small businesses that had sustained their families for a generation.
		Although restrictions imposed by the Uruguayan government after 1932 limited the number of Jews able to enter the country in the 30s and 40s, some continued to trickle in during and after the Second World War.
		Themes such as assimilation, adaptation to Uruguayan culture, loss of religious orthodoxy, reinforcement of the Jewish community, and connection with Israel are just a few of the threads that are common to many of these lives.
