I'm betting that previously you could get C3 for 119 DR Pesos, which would likely have come out to around 2.19 because currently 119 pesos = 2.10 USD.
Now, in the DR, 119 pesos may be a fair chunk of change but here in the US (or the UK) that won't even buy you a decent cup of coffee. The prices were likely previously listed in pesos which didn't get converted into USD.
So, for less than 15 minutes of minimum wage work here in the US you were getting access to a full year of C3. Be happy, that was one incredible bargain.
