We now live in an age of a global economy. Goods are shipped all over the world and depending on the value of the currency in the country it's being shipped to, determines the price. In countries where the currency is devalued or worth less than the country the goods were made or the country where its corporate HQ is located, it will take more of their currency to make the purchase.
as an example . . .after WWI . . .inflation was so bad in Germany . . .it took an entire wheel barrow of German Marks just to buy a loaf of bread.
