8 Countries With Weak Pesos But Hot Women
The peso is often criticized as being an internationally weak currency. Many countries all over the world use a form of 'the peso' as their unit of currency, each holding its own value and exchange rate compared to the American dollar. And, quite coincidentally as it turns out, some of the world's hottest women use these cute little bank notes in their home country.
Here at WallStreetFighter we are on a relentless pursuit for money and hot babes. So after doing some research and teaming up with our boys over at Chickipedia, we present to you the perfect unity of currency exchange rates and smoking hot chicks.
For further reading, additional pictures, and other random info the numbered links above the hotties will direct you to each fine lady's Chickipedia page, the best source on the internet for hot chick info.
Without further ado here are the world's weakest pesos and the women who love them:
8.) Carolina Ardohain, Argentina
3.021 Argentine pesos (ARS) = 1 US Dollar
Here at the start of our list you'll find the 'strongest' of the pesos. If you go down to Argentina with a shiny US greenback, you'll only be able to trade it in for 3.02 Argentine pesos. This is usually a sign that the economy is doing relatively well there. It also looks like the television media is doing relatively well in Argentina, with this selected Argentine hottie, Carolina Ardohain dominating the airwaves.
Carolina hosts her own variety show in addition to being a well known supermodel. She was also dubbed the national soccer team's 'Godmother' in their bid to win the 2002 World Cup. Hottest Godmother we've ever seen.
7.) Salma Hayek, Mexico
10.272 Mexican pesos (MXN) = 1 US Dollar
Mexico, our lovely neighbor to the South, has struggled with a weak peso for decades, but it is relatively strong compared to some other pesos on this list. And so it sits way up here at #7. Who better to represent 'America's beard' (Mexico), than the muy caliente Salma Hayek. Just saying her name makes our lives that much sexier.
Salma has been in tons of movies and you may also recognize her as being one of the hottest women on the planet. She's also been getting a lot of attention lately for her pregnancy boobs, which are quite impressive.
6.) Vida Guerra, Cuba
23.148 Cuban pesos (CUP) = 1 US Dollar
Cuba gets a bad rap in the United States. Not sure if it's because of that missile crisis, or the communism thing, or because of Fidel Castro falling off that stage. Either way, everyone loves their forbidden cigars and their beautiful women. The Cuban peso situation is a little strange. They actually have two pesos, the standard Cuban peso and the Cuban convertible peso. It seems kind of bizarre to us, but Cubans use separate currencies at different stores. Groceries get convertible pesos while other shops use standard pesos. Strange.
Anyway, let's not forget about Cuba's #1 export to the United States, Vida Guerra. You may recognize her from the Chapelle's Show sketch where Dave satirizes R. Kelly with an 'I Wanna Piss On You' song. Yup, that's right- smokin' hot Vida got 'pissed on'. She's also graced the covers of Maxim, FHM, and Playboy. But like every celebrity in the modern age, somehow private naked pictures of her were leaked onto the internet when her cell phone was hacked. Doesn't the internet suck?
5.) Natalia Oreiro, Uruguay
19.827 Uruguayan pesos (UYU) = 1 US Dollar
This Uruguayan peso note looks like a pink ripoff of our American dollar bill. Is that 10th president of the USA, John Tyler, they put on their 100 peso note?
I am willing to forgive these Uruguayan transgressions for offering us the chance to see Natalia Oreiro. Natalia is a model and Latin Grammy nominated singer from Uruguay who has been in commercials and magazines since the age of 12. She was the face of several Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Johnson & Johnson ads in her youth. Seeing her now really makes me hate all those polar bear and artistic bubbly coke ads we have here in America. Is there a shortage of hot babes in the US to feature in soda ads?
4.) Dania Ramirez, Dominican Republic
34.609 Dominican Republic pesos (DOP) = 1 US Dollar
Not too far east from our Cuban neighbors, lie the lovely islands of the Dominican Republic. As we get closer to the #1 spot on our list, you'll see how far the American dollar translates into these local pesos. In the Dominican Republic you could probably live like a king for a weekend for the same price as a tank of gas in the US. You've gotta love those currency exchange rates.
The Dominican Republic's own Dania Ramirez seems to have hit it big stateside with her recurring role in NBC's Heroes (which better come back on the air soon). If you're a bunch of nerds like us you'll recognize her as the girl who kills everyone in the immediate vicinity with her bizarre super power of bleeding some black chocolaty substance out of her eyes. So delicious.
3.) Christine Mendoza, Philippines
44.631 Philippine pesos (PHP) = 1 US Dollar
The Philippines, the only Asian country to make our list, does not pronounce their peso the same as most. And although it sounds more like "pee-so" rather than the traditional "pay-so", they can't fool us into thinking it should be valued any higher.
The islands of the Philippines might be best known for showing us that large groups of men in prison can do 'Thriller' pretty well. But we're equally impressed with Christine Mendoza. Even though her family moved her to California when she was young, she still speaks her native Tagalog fluently. And thank god for the "Import Tuner" auto magazine talent scout who saw her at a local car show and signed her up to a lifetime of public hotness. Give that man a medal.
2.) Leonor Varela, Chile
509.820 Chilean pesos (CLP) = 1 US Dollar
We could make lame jokes all day about the irony of incredibly hot women coming from a country whose very name is a homophone for cold, but we're classier than that. We can't overlook the 509 Chilean pesos you would get with each American dollar though. Keep in mind that doesn't speak to 'the buying power' of that dollar, but needless to say it must get annoying carrying around 5,000 dollar bills to pay for small items. How do they keep track of all those zeros?
You've probably seen this Chilean beauty on the big screen in her role in Blade II. You were one of the handful of people that saw Blade II, right? If not, maybe you've seen the beautiful Leonor Varela on the Stargate TV series? Wow, I'm really not impressed with her acting experience, I'm sorry. But she is definitely hot, so hopefully she'll start making barrel loads of Chilean pesos when she lands that big role. 4 wheelbarrows full of pesos should be enough to buy something nice in Chile, right?
1.) Catalina Sandino Moreno, Colombia
1,772.620 Colombian pesos (COP) = 1 US Dollar
Congratulations to Colombia for having both the weakest peso and some of the hottest women! Hooray! I'm sure they prefer that arrangement to what they've got in England - women with horrible accents, screwed up teeth, and a strong currency (the pound).
Colombia, despite its incredibly weak peso, has a plethora of hotness radiating from its gene pool. The land that gave us Shakira (who ranked #2 on our Highest Earning Hotties list) has also graced us with Catalina Sandino Moreno. She is an actress nominated for an Academy Award for her work in the 2004 film Maria Full of Grace. And although it appears that she's dating or hooking up with 'lame-as-hell' Wilmer Valderrama, she's still pretty hot in our book.
Hope you enjoyed the list, please let us know in the comments section if there is anyone we left out. And with that, we say peace out to the peso.

But on a scale of 1-10 how many beautiful women are there in Colombia? 10 being on every street corner, 1 being only celebrities.

The exchange rate to the dollar is not
The exchange rate to the dollar is not a way to say that the currency is weak. You really have to use PPP (purchasing-power parity) which shows the cost of buying an equivalent thing using the currency. Of course, all of those are weaker than the dollar.
Check out the Big Mac Index for an easy to understand explanation.

Did you really write this article recently?? Make it 2 currencies that aren't exactly up to date, the mexican peso bill is about 10 years old at least.
Also, the exchange rate is about 10.2 mexican pesos per dollar.

Interestingly enough, the Pesos that
Interestingly enough, the Pesos that these countries use originate from the "Real de a Ocho" (pieces of eight, or Spanish Dollar), which is the same currency that the US dollar originates from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Dollar#History
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_dollar
So, technically speaking, the US dollar can also be considered a "peso" currency, in the historical sense.
Another minor fact: the Mexican Peso is actually "strong" not "weak". The strenght of a currency depends on its ability to maintain a constant value (i.e., not devaluate) over a prolonged period of time. For over 10 years the Mexican peso has had a similar average value, and it has actually gained value against the dollar in the last few months (as almost any other currency in the world).
Taking these two facts into consideration, I can't help but wonder why US American women are excluded from the post... The US dollar is clearly a weak and heavily devalued, peso-originated currency, and the US also has hot women. So, what gives?
I love you, Hari

Obviously, I know that the Philipines is in Asia, thus the qualifier "basically" and the lack of the word "exclusively". To someone who suggested Bolivia. I was born there. Boy your dollar will go far, but the hot ladies are few and far between. Argentina (specifically Buenos Aires) has the hottest ladies in LatAm.

Please do your research before posting
Please do your research before posting an article like this. It might just show how much you really don't know about economy. You really want to compare the purchasing power instead of just the currency exchange. The exchange is nothing if you don't compare with what you can actually can get in those countries. A good way to indicate this is comparing to what it would cost to get a Big Mac in those countries compared to the US, and you would see that the peso is not as weak as your article states. For example in Colombia it cost .30 cent more to get a Big Mac compared to the US and in Chile it is only .40 cents less and compared to Argentina it is about .70 less than the US. So please try to think before blatantly trying to say that if you go to these countries you will have an incredible amount of money because the only truth is that the real weak currency now is the dollar.
