Great Currency "Cheat Sheet"
Oanda.com has a site where you can enter any currency and convert it to any other currency and it comes up with a wallet-size currency "cheat sheet" that is really fabulous. You can then laminate it or (as I do), just back it with stiff paper and cover it with clear packing tape and you have a perfect, instant resource when shopping or negotiating.

If everyone on Fodors already knows about this, I apologize for redundancy, but I travel all the time and I didn't know about it, so I figure some of you might not know either.

I made my own years ago on Excel. It is a lot easier now with the € but it will work well in Asia. Mine is a bit fancier. I have more small change entries and I color code it for the particular currency's coins and bills.

I've been using the Cheat sheet for years, it's great. We just used it in Malaysia and it came in very handy, although I still carry a small calculator with me. Also currencies fluctuate so the cheat sheet may not be entirely accurate if your in a country where the currency is in constant flux. Malaysia has been pretty steady so it worked out well there.
