yes you're right. I tend not to nitpic over cents when I'm converting, so I always reckon a dollar or a euro to be about 1.50 to the pound, give or take a few coppers either way.

As of 5:15 PM EDT on Aug 19, the rate of exchange was 1&euro; = .6392&pound;<BR>Of course when you exchange, the rate will be more expensive for you because you never get the bank wholesale rate unless you are a bank.<BR>
