    Another conversion page - which has a transfer side too (Baloo is not a financial adviser and is neither recommending or warning against this site) http://www.xe.com/ucc/

    Alternatively, if you are transfering funds, PayPal works in various currencies. My bank account is in sterling, Terry's is in US dollars - PayPal sorts out my sub. (Once again, neither recommending nor dissing...)

    XE list Andorra as Euro. Incidentally, it tells me that (right now, of course) 1 GBP = 24,385,704,852.73 ZWD (GBP being pounds sterling and ZWD being Zimbabwe dollars). Is that lower than the pengő went? Is Bobby-boy trying for the record?

    To Baloo's question: I don't think the Zimbabwe dollar has reached the level of inflation comparable to the Hungarian Pengö after WW2.

    Quote:
    The pengő lost value after the Second World War, suffering the highest rate of hyperinflation ever recorded. There were several attempts to break down inflation, e.g. a 75 % capital levy in December 1945. However, this did not stop the hyperinflation and prices continued spiralling out of control, with ever higher denominations introduced. The denominations milpengő (1 000 000 pengő) and b.-pengő (pronunciation: bilpengő) (1 000 000 milpengő or 1 000 000 000 000 pengő) were used to alleviate calculations, cut down the number of zeroes and enable the reuse of banknote designs with only the colour and denomination name changed.
