Currency conversion gimmick
Currency Conversion Made Easy
Go on Excel and list dollars in one column
And each needed currency beside, in another column-
And with reasonable increments
Cut off the extra.
Fold it so you can pull it out sideways from your wallet,
Quietly, just let it peek out to show the foreign amount,
Then slide it a little more to see the US,
To see what the cost really is, each time.
...............................................
For one trip, we needed five columns:
For Bosnia; Slovenia; Croatia; Serbia
And Montenegro, none of which were reliably
On the Euro.
I ended up cutting and stacking the columns
So I could flip to where we needed to be.
