Guatemalan money

Guatemalan currency is call the quetzale. Paper money comes in Q1, Q5, Q10, Q20, Q50, Q100 and, just last year, Q200. Today, a quetzale is worth $0.1285. Coins come in Q1, Q0.50, Q0.25, Q0.10, and Q0.05 and Q0.01. Do the math to see how much each item is worth.

Here's a link to a photo of the coinage: http://0.tqn.com/d/coins/1/0/F/3/-/-/Guatemala_money_coins.jpg

I didn't know that there was a Q0.5 bill or a Q0.01 coin. I've never seen them. I've also never seen the Q200 bill, except on-line.
