What a random moneysaving thread

For all the currency boffins... If i had say £5,000 and exchanged it to X currency then to $$ can this be done to increase the amount you get for your money?

hey sturll, how you doin?


well, it could certainly be done, but you'd have to get your timing right
and of course, you could actually end up with less than you started with!!

Cute trick and i've looked at it and to be honest i don't think there is any mileage in it.

I used xe.com and did it to JPY then USD and got the same result of GBP

5000 GBP x 143.182 JPY = 715910

15910 JPY / 96.9535 USD = 7384.055

7384.055 USD / 1.47681 GBP = 5000.00

So i don't think so unless you do it and wait a day or so and see what happens in the world economy

Im doing good thanks, well i was. I bought my son a Paintball gun in the States and finally got him some gas and paint balls today. Anyway, i sent him out to the garden and gave him a target to shoot.

Just went out and found my shed, fence, dog and neighbours house all spattered with illuminant yellow paint.
That's an early night for him and a lot of explaining for me.

RE the currency thanks to you both, it was just an idea i had. I might look into it and who knows

:rotfl::rotfl:kids !!... mind you, i'm not sure exactly who to blame here......;)

be careful with the currency exchanges
effectively all you will be doing is glorified gambling....
not sure what amounts you want to do it in, but you'll need large amounts, in order to make large amounts if you know what i mean...
