Need one now my friend, although I think it will make a good addition to the plugin market.

what do you need it to do. Will it manual user add his currency add the exchange rate then spits out conversion or do you want user adds money checks a internet database for realtime currency and then spits out the amount of local currency

The first one would take an hour to do The second would require paying for an api parsing it and so on take a bit longer

first one would do for now as I need it as an example for a client. Second one long term would be ideal. Does the second option have a free version to a certain point of is it a paid solution from the start?

OK, interesting. Well any solution right now will help, but I think it would be worth a plugin.

Would some JavaScript work for you? I spotted a couple of examples using google http://cconv.textor.com/ and http://www.cssnewbie.com/example/currency-conversion/ and there are probably more

Bundle Package, I know what to do with it. Still need it though, can I add a background image? Do you have a factory that churns this stuff out?
