Ok, I give up.

How does one arrive upon a $6,241 bounty on the head of a terrorist?

Not...that there's anything WRONG with that mind you...

The odd-sounding bounty probably equates to something like one million Phillipine pesos.

That amount equates (roughly) to 350,000 Philipine Pesos. Doesn't sound quite so odd thataway.

currency conversion = 350,000 PHP, a nice round number.

56.10 Philippine Pesos to the dollar (current rate) makes the $6,241 bounty about 350,000 Philippine Pesos

When you take what's probably a round number in Philippine currency and translate it into US dollars

Funny, very funny. I imagine the rate of exchange coupled with reporters lack of detail gave us this preposterous bounty.

Im sure that it started out as a round number in their currency and is being shown here in US dollars.
