[Translators-l] Appeals currencies (again)

[KIZU Naoko]

I support to list many currencies in general, but not buy this exact phrase.
$20 is now equivarent 1600. Why do you recommend US donors $20 and
Japanese donors more than the double? That has been criticized "US
greed for Asians" in some Japanese net commuity ...
