I got a “tip” from a colleague in the Brazilian ColdFusion mailing list about using Google to calculate currency conversions. I decided to test it and I’m amazed with the results, not only currency, but also measure units…
Try this, type the following in the search box and see the result:
| Search box | Result |
|---|---|
| 250 * euro | 220 * Euros = 286.59400 U.S. dollars |
| sterling * 220 | British pound * 220 = 325.44600 U.S. dollars |
| 180 * pound | 180 * pounds = 81.6466266 kilograms |
| yards * 200 | yards * 200 = 182.88 meters |
Hi,
you can also search for
“250 USD in RUB”
result:
250 U.S. dollars = 8 373.52626 Russian rubles
You don’t even need the * in some cases, just type in
220 euros
220 pounds
220 yards
alernatively type in
220 euros in dollars
220 yen in euros
220 miles in inches
etc
to do any conversion you need
That’s pretty neat actually.
250 USD in DKK
250 U.S. dollars = 1 321.37402 Danish kroner
I will use Googles converter in the future, rather then my online bank.
there’s another site to do that called xe.com you probably have hared of it already
It’s a good and quick tool, there are actually far more handy tools similar to this one, for example Get the local time anywhere enter simply what time is it to get the local time in big cities around the world, or add the locale at the end of your query, like what time is it hong kong to get the local time there.
