Money and the mind

I am never sure what currency to work in. Just as I've got it together the person I'm talking to generally changes. This seems to happen a lot in Dubai?  Now I've got a new currency to master. Which means I spend a lot of time going to coinmill.com as I don't have a feel for it yet. 1000 Rupees is about AED 30, USD 8 or GBP 5. AED 30 seems like nothing but a fiver seems significant. What's that all about? Is it just me? Why should it be so? Maybe it's to do with how broke you were in any given country? Or just how expensive a given place is? Any research you can find on this I'd like to see.
