Loading live exchange rates…
Rates are pulled live from a public exchange-rate feed when the page loads and are indicative — banks and cards add a margin, so the amount you actually pay will differ slightly.

Live rates, with a margin in the real world

The converter uses mid-market exchange rates — the "true" rate you see on the news — refreshed each time the page loads. It's ideal for working out roughly what something costs in your own currency. Bear in mind that the rate you actually get from a bank, card or bureau de change includes a margin on top, typically 1–4%, so treat these figures as a clear baseline rather than the exact amount you'll be charged. The reference tables cover the coin and note names you'll encounter and the handful of places that officially use another nation's money. For what each country speaks and spends, see the country guide.

FAQ

Are these exchange rates live?
Yes — they're fetched from a public rate feed each time you open the page. They're mid-market (interbank) rates, so they're accurate as a reference, though the rate you pay via a bank or card will include a small margin.
What are the small coins called in different currencies?
It varies: US coins are the penny, nickel, dime and quarter; UK uses pence (1p, 2p, and so on); the euro uses cents. The reference table above lists the subunit and common coin names for major currencies.
