Note that the Ithaca hour is essentially crypto-currency and is only recognized and around Ithaca New York.
This is a good thing to note. Ithaca Hours are local currency and are only accepted in Ithaca, NY. But, having lived there, I know that they can be extremely beneficial to active members of the community who may not otherwise be able to afford breakfast at the local bagel joint (holla at CTB from a former employee who stil loves y'all).
What's the exchange rate to Schrute Bucks?
Schrute bucks can't be exchanged for Ithaca Hours. Dwight doesn't support Ithaca's right to exist because it's the home of Andrew Bernard's beloved Cornell.
