Currency Page
Now the €uro is here we don't have to fiddle about converting so many different currencies - so this page is a little shorter than it used to be! However, we have included in the Quick Reference section below a euro table showing the official exchange rates between the legacy currencies and the euro.
This page has been designed to reflect our own requirements. The exchange rates used in the Quick Reference grid below and the Pop-up Currency Calculator have been input by us, so may become a little out of date between updates. For up-to-date rates use the customised Currency Converter (courtesy of XE.com) or one of the other
web-based exchange rate services listed below.
Quick Reference
Exchange rates for currencies that we use frequently need for a forthcoming trip, or have needed on past trips. NB: These are market rates not tourist rates!
