El Raton de los Dientes

Elisa is about to lose her first tooth in Chile.  Unfortunately, there appears to be no tooth fairy in Chile.  Fortunately, there is "El Raton de los Dietes!"  

Stay tuned to find out how generous s/he is.  Given that the exchange rate right now is 456 Chilean Pesos per dollar, no matter what it is going to look like a lot.  Everything looks like a lot of money - for instance, in order to join the Estadio (the "country club") it costs 677,500 Chilean Pesos.  It will take some getting used to.  It actually costs 31 UFs which is a totally different currency used for large purchases that is not affected by inflation and fluctuates daily.
