euro/pound conversion...
 
am I figuring things correct?? Roughly one euro is the same as one US dollar?? And one pound is alittle over $1.50 ??

Roughly (actually pretty close) you are right.<BR><BR>GBP approx $1.56<BR>euro approx $0.98<BR><BR>But they change a little day to day

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.

Do you know how to make a euro?<BR>Then you haven't been reading the postings over the weekend.....What a process we have gone through. Quite a hoot!! &euro; &euro;

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>
