Vocabulary
not an idiom, still hard to understand
Hi,
a came across such a sentence:
"
In the living room, the boy, nineteen, in tears, R3 240 in the pocket of his leather jacket, saying, over and over, his mother's name.
"
It is taken from a book " dead before dying" - and I got stuck. This thing he had in his pocket - R3 240 - what is this? No google hits, no pictures, no nothing. Would you be able to help?
thx

Hard to say; it could be anything. There's an expensive diamond ring called R3-240, and it could be that, but it could also be something entirely different.

yeah, I found it too, however it doesn't make any sense. But I think I've got the answer - since the plot takes place in South Africa, and the publisher I work for scanned some pages as trial for me, it can be a scanner mistake - mayby it is about Rands - their currency? that 3 is something added? makes sense? so the guy had R 240 in his pockets:)
