50 Ethiopian cents (አምሳ ሳንቲም ) [ During the Nineteen-Fifties and Sixties ! ] ===> worth maybe 10 American cents then!

~ If you were a day student (ተመላላሽ) at Tafari Makonnen School in Addis Ababa, and could afford to spend 50-cents, you would be able to buy a decent lunch outside the school campus ... at the neighboring local eateries (የሃበሻ ምግብ ቤቶች) !!!
