Louis is essentially right. If there had been such a drop of the euro against the dollar it would have been big news by now.
Saturday evening Jan 10 I looked at 18:00 h CET, on CNN text, p. 733: Euro rates at 18:00 GMT (=UTC) - Jan 18 (Friday) U(nited) S(tates) D(ollar) CURRENT: 0.8847 HIGH : 0.8852 LOW : 0.8797 Han ----- Original Message ----- From: "Louis JOURDAN" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "U.S. Metric Association" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, 2002-01-19 14:33 Subject: [USMA:17468] Re: What is the dollar value of the Euro?

But, the Houston Newspaper I saw at the Hobby Airport reported its value as 0.88150 $. Even the currency exchange house at the Airport was showing the base price at 0.81150 $. But they were selling Euros for 1.05 $. It seems to be if there was a 7 � drop in the Euro it would have been headline news. Can you guys check your local papers for the present Euro value? I want to know who is reporting the wrong value? Yesterday night : 0,89051 $/� Normal. Louis
