Cool New Currency Tool

One of my favorite travel blogs is About Eastern Europe Travel and Kerry Kubilius has a quick post on XE Universal Currency Converter. This tool provides up to date currency information (Universal Coordinated Time) and is extremely easy to use. Simply type in your desired amount, select the currency that amount is in (the top 10 currencies are listed first, the rest are listed in alphabetic order), then choose the currency you want to exchange it to and click Go. You will then see what the current rate is based on the amount you typed in. As of now, $100 US dollars is worth roughly $65 euros. A great feature of this converter is the number of currencies you can check (as many as 85 in the quick version and 180 in the full version). The currencies are also based on live, mid-market rates.
