There are lots of currency converters on the web, but this one by Oanda is especially good. It lets you select the as-of date, add conversion fees, and set various preferences. They also have tools for embedding prices in HTML that automatically convert to the preferred currency using a feature they call FxCommerce. You embed prices like this:

<script type="text/javascript">document.write(OANDAconvert(15.95, "USD") );</script>

And it displays in the reader's favourite currency. You can change your favourite currency by clicking to the right of the value. It remembers your favourite currency by sending your browser a cookie. I wrote a program called CurrCon that looks like this: $250.00 CAD See details on how it works and how to buy it. If you are interested in a customised version of the CurrCon program, please email me telling me what features you require.
