I suggest not to use and calculate exchange rates at all (they may even change by several % if your CC is charged 2 weeks later). Just use USD, EUR. And there will remain only 6 other currencies. But you should link the online-tool so that everyone can easily convert what he/she wants. --[[User:Hns | hns]] 09:28, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Using monthly average exchange rates

Hi! I just changed the USD prices in the table using the average exchange rates from October 2009 instead of the current exchange rate. The idea of changing to monthly rates came from Christoph Pulster. I think this is a much better idea than using the current rate which can change much more. I got the monthly rates from an online tool at http://fx.sauder.ubc.ca/data.html . Here are the rates for October. I'm planning to update these rates regularly:

MMM YYYY	EUR/USD	GBP/USD	CZK/USD	PLN/USD	RUB/USD	CHF/USD
Oct 2009	0.67480	0.61704	17.478	2.8447	29.436	1.0214
