Need chart for European Money Conversion
 
Please help me find the site which has a small chart that you can print for each country's currency compared to the US currency. Thanks, June

Hel-lo, June. Most European countries converted to the Euro at the beginning of the year. If you want the exchange rate for the US Dollar vs. British Pounds or Swiss Francs, go to www.oanda.com.

Hi, Yes, I agree "oanda" looks good<BR>You can also find a cheat sheet to carry<BR>in your wallet/ purse for quick conversions which is a neat idea.<BR>Happy travelling.<BR><BR>

The currency fluctuates daily, there is not set amount. Are Americans really this stupid as to not know this???

I'm not surprised you hide your name as you choose to be so pointlessly offensive.<BR><BR>We all know rates fluctuate, but I'm sure all june wants is a rough comparison. I'm certainly not anal enough to check the exchange rate everyday of my holiday.

The Euro rate does fluctuate daily, I know. But a just read that a really easy way to determine the cost of something in Euros as compared to Dollars it to take 10% off the price in Euros. I think the rate has been going between .9 to 1.2. But of course, this only helps for the Euro countries. I know last year that prices on goods were mostly listed in Euros plus the currency of the country we were in(France, Italy, Spain). I just knew the dollar cost was a little less. I think the cheat sheets are great, but annoying to pull out and put away. Have a great trip.
