Free Currency Converter Gadget

Currency Converter is a free, elegant and very convenient gadget you can
place on your desktop to learn automatically updated (through MSN)
exchange rates in several currencies. The initial view features 2
currencies, but you can add more selecting from a list.

As is known, this gadget does not support some conversions (e.g. it does
not support Philippine Pesos), but it includes a link to the On Line
Converter where most probably you will find the conversion that you miss.

Note (November 2014): It seems that MSN decided to stop this service,
and the gadget won’t update exchange rates anymore. You can download and
try it, but most probably it will remain useless. However, a new
currency converter, not depending on MSN, will be published on this page
the next days. I hope you enjoy it!

Hello Keith,

This happened around noon yesterday. The other gadget I use, Weather,
works
fine.
Tried fixes (?) turned show gadgets off/on (R click on desk top,
View), checked
currency.xml - no auto scale... All from googling 'IE11 breaks
gadgets'without
success, so trying here.




It's not a gadget but the Oanda web site is very convenient. A very
large number of conversions is available:
