About the Site
The Universal Currency Counter provides an easy way for students to convert one country's currency into that of another. Students can convert U.S. dollars to other currencies or begin with another currency and see how much each unit is worth in U.S. dollars.
What to Do
Help students convert one U.S. dollar to French francs. Invite students to comment on the offer of three French francs for one U.S. dollar.
Encourage students to perform several more currency conversions in which they convert U.S. dollars to other currencies. They might find it interesting to begin with another currency and convert it to U.S. dollars.
Tell students to click the Back arrow once after each currency conversion in order to perform another one.
