conversion calculator...they're small, a little larger than a credit card. i have always carried one with me, and just having it apparently works, as no one has ever tried to short change me. i am amazed at the stories of money change rip offs on this forum. it only makes sense to me to use a money exchange calculator...you set it when you get there, then you just put in the amount you want to figure, and push a button and you know exactly how much it costs. it also works as a regular calculator so when you go to the money changers, you just pull out the calculator and punch in the current rate x what you are exchanging. i don't understand why more people don't use these...whenever i pull it out in a shop (if it is large number and i want to know what the exact price is) everyone around me says...ohhh, i wish i had one of those.
