you know how on books they have the price in US $ and the Canadian price is always a couple dollars more...now that the Canadian dollar is worth more than the US dollar, are Canadians getting ripped off on the prices of books by having to pay more?
Mostly we are getting a bad deal on all products, but many retailers are realizing we will just mail order from U.S. - or go south of the border for a shopping trip. So, they all say they are bringing down their prices - some stores offer books at the US price. They all say it takes time and they have old stock at older rates, blah blah.... but believe me, when it is the other way around (Cnd dollar drops much lower than U.S.) - the prices go up pretty darn quick. Wonder why they are not going down very fast? hmmm
Some places (I know Walmart is for sure) are selling books/magazines at the US price. The Canadian prices for this stuff is Crazy!
We are soooo getting ripped off, and in protest, i%26#039;m not buying my magazines elsewhere than Wal Mart. Honestly, so not fair...and stores like Banana Republic, Old navy, H%26amp;M...still have pricetags higher (by 25%) than on US websites...and don%26#039;t even get me started on electronics...and with our sales taxes, it just plain sucks. Feels good to vent!
well if you are asking bout currency exhange rates that is easy
It%26#039;s the state of the country that issues the currency and their ability to pay off loans to the World Bank where 95% of em got their financing to start their country from
You also have to take into effect the goverments outstanding achievement standings vs other nations and their acomplishments/achievements
There are 9 major countries I can think of that set the standard....
I think they are:
The USA
Japan and a few asian nations
Unified Germany
The United Arab Emirates
England and the UK (including Scottland, Ireland, Australia and Canada)
France
Italy
Israel
and last but not least Russia and what was the old Soviet Union prior to the Cold War
Everyone has to pony up and match their achievements to try and set the standard for the rest of world market currency to be measured off of and that figures into exchange rates
Hope that Helped

then at the end of the web page, u can see currency exchange rate
Depends on many things like where you are, whether the money changer is a physical or Internet based etc.
An easy way to see if you are getting a good deal is to compare the spread between buy and sell. The smaller the difference in percentage terms, the better the deal is. And don%26#039;t leave it for the last minute. If, for example, you are at some place where there in just a money changer and no bank in site, then the money changer will give you a bad deal just because he can get away with it. So, plan ahead, and make the comparisons before you need to exchange money.
Betty,
Affirmative yes ! Money Changer is always better. They are willing to take risk in the business whereas banks exchange is not their main business
depends on where you are. most countries i%26#039;ve been to, the money changers give you a better rate of exchange than banks. never change money at the airport, they are the worst.
Generally yes. Banks don%26#039;t survive on money changing, thus the rate they offer is normally lower than the money changers.
However, I found that this does not apply to credit card. When I used my credit card oversea, I found that the exchange rate is better.
the average annual exchange rate for 2005 was 2.206375 Canadian dollars to 1.00 British Pound.
Or....
0.454564 Pounds to 1.00 Canadian Dollar
