Currency Conversion!!!

Planning a trip to Europe or elsewhere in the world? Want to know how many euros are in a United States dollar? Would you like to know the name of the currency in, say, South Africa? (It's the "rand" by the way...). XE (whom call themselves "the world's favorite currency site") has several tools available for you. One of the first features you'll see is their Quick Cross Rates chart, which has values for the most common currencies of the world. Just below that is XE's Universal Currency Converter where you can convert currencies yourself.

Click on the XE link above or go here to visit the site.

By the way, if you were wondering about the image above, it's an Italian 1000 "lira" note, a defunct form of money since the introduction of the euro.
