To visualize, I have prepared this pie chart. Please remember that 1US$ = 3.75SR. 500$ is 1875SR.

Why did you put the exchange rate of SR and not YR against the USD ?

I depended on the article's assumed rate, which is 1US$ = 200YR. The current rate is about 1US$ = 198.2YR, roughly equal the article's approximation. I live in Saudi Arabia and have never dealt with the Yemeni Riyal. All I know is that it plummeted a couple of years ago to the current price range.
