No, you can't buy a blister pack of fighters for a dollar.  (8-)

Ooops, I blew it and you are correct. Somehow I got them reversed. Thanks for
the correction Jerry.

Correct, Jerry.

Because a number of us end up trading between two or more currencies, the
following site is a good one:

http://www.oanda.com/cgi-bin/ncc

It allows you to convert from one currency to another at the current exchange
rate. It also lists the counter conversion (i.e. if you ask for Canadian
dollars to British Pounds, it will also list British Pounds to Canadian
Dollars). This site allows you to convert 164 different currencies.
