Be aware that the websites provided usually do conversions based on the current "bank rate" which is the rate that banks charge EACH OTHER for currency exchanges/conversions. Inevitably the rate that YOU will get from, say, an ATM, will not be quite as good but these on-line converters remain an excellent reference point for approximate values private citizens can expect.

OK, Wanda, I'll answer your question since you aren't concerned with to the minute rates. It's about 1.24 to the euro. Take the number of euro and multiply by 1.24 and you'll be about right, right now.

For those who do want to look at a currency converter (it is true what Topman said, but still a good reference point!) I find http://www.xe.com/ucc/ to be the easiest to use. (I checked out the one that was listed on this thread - and it seemed a little too complicated)

Melissa:
Why are the articles in The Economist "like another language"?
Economist articles are the definition of proper English. Even the BBC, by comparison, cannot be relied on to get it right.
Surely their style book is next to your desk? If not, what language do you speak?

The Economist is about the eastiest-to-read magazine out there. That's why people pay so much for it. It makes sense and gets to the point. And it doesn't take any sort of economics background to understand.

Hello.
We are going to Italy on the 2nd and 3d weeks of August...where is the best to change USD to Euros-here or there and if there does it makes a difference to do it in ATM or in the Bank.
Thanks...everyone sound so competent..thanks in advance.
