Google works it out and gives you the answer: “147 Euros = 98.6319573 British pounds” and how’s that for accuracy! This even works when you don’t know the currency of the country you’re interested in, one of the examples given by Google is “currency of Brazil in Malaysian money” which will tell you “1 Brazil real = 1.68284213 Malaysian ringgits”. Educational, too! A few more examples are here: http://www.google.com/help/feature s.html#currency I hope this makes your conversions easier.... more |
