Posted By: Google…Everybody knows it and you can use Google for a lot of of things. Things like: finding mp3’s, video’s, e-books, as a calculator, as a dictionary, Google Reader for the RSS feeds of your favorite blogs, Gmail for your e-mail and off course last but not least as a search engine. BUT did you know that you can use Google to quickly convert currencies?? Well, I didn’t till I found this great tip on Achmad Z’s Archives! 
So if you want to know how much 250 Euro’s is in US dollars you just type:
250 EUR in USD
And Google will tell you how much that is in US dollars, namely: $ 389.95 just like the screenshot here below.

Very quick and another handy use for Google. This beats finding the current exchange rate and having to pull out a calculator, thanks!

I use google for lots of things, but I didn’t realize they were able to convert currencies. I usually use other sites for currency conversion especially when I need to travel overseas.
I have used google also to convert measurements for eg: grams to kilograms, etc…
You’re right Toronto SEO. It’s much easier and faster!!
Can uou convert mesurements with Google?! I really didn’t knew about that either Marie. Thnx for the tip!!
i think, sooner or later, when we need anything, just look at Google.
Dunns last blog post..Wordpress Automatic Upgrade
Thank you for a great blog of information. I always learn “something”, most of it is over my head but I get a little of this and a little of that. Always enjoy coming here.
Yeah.. You’re right Dunn. It wouldn’t surprise me if they come up with their own operating system!
Glad that you liked it mommyandmeboutique! I try to write as simple as possible so it would be understandable for everyone, but if you would like more about a post or something like that… Don’t hesitate and drop me an e-mail!
Man, I wait for the day when we would be able to write “One double cheese with fries and a large soda”, and the google delivery guy would ring at your door. He wouldn’t even need you to give him the adress. He has Google Maps.
Oh wow – thanks again – that saves me a lot of time in the future!

I wasn’t aware about this. Thanks for the heads up. I often use a calculator to covert currencies. Not I will use Google for sure.
Hye Munars last blog post..Apple iPhone 3G Alternatives
Haha! Yeah, I like the idea O. Messaoud!
That would be a very nice Google feature! 
I thought so Nicole! I mean you travel a lot and you always have internet connection so it’s much easier for you!
That’s unfair Nicole! No to make you jalouse, but there are 4 McDonald’s in a short distance from our house! 
60 KM?
Forget about your calculator Hye Munar, you might just even throw it away.
I mean you can use Google for almost everything! 
Is there anything Google can’t do? Soooner or later Google is going to have a monopoly on life.
