> The exchange rate is a bit different from a currency's value. The difference is similar to paying for the hotel room in dollar bills or in dimes and nickels. The total value is the same*, it is merely the form and value of each unit that changes. But some banks will still rip you off on exchange rates, so happy-go-lucky exchanging is a bad idea.

I heard that people make livings off of exchanging money through different countries? Similar to a stock market, I guess...
