Is it different for a business? Everytime I have exchanged money from US $ or British Pounds, its always just been a % of each dollar, and not fee.

Canadian/Euro, ever since the Euro was introduced into the Market its always been at like 1 Euro to 0.71 CDN$. I will be over joyed when it goes to 1 Euro to 0.80 CDN$.

I hope one day 1 GBP to 0.60 CDN$, not that would be heaven.

conspiracy theory #1 .. middle eastern countries want to start priceing barrels of oil in EURO rather then Dollars... The dollar would collapse overnight. There is a reason why the U.S dollar is also called the Petrodollar.

discuss..

Soon the Greenback will be used as toilet paper.

i was thinking that... why dont they use the GBP as the cost of a barrel of oil?

1 Barrel = 158.98729 Liters. Man oil companies make a huge profit.

I love to shop in the STATES!
