The UK have opted out of the single currency at the moment, as it would require a Referendum to join.  This is such a hot subject that a government calling a referendum may lose power over it.\n\nBoth main political parties are split over their support for the single currency.  \n\nFor the rest of us it would make life much easier if we had a single currency.

British Pounds Sterling is the currency of Great Britain, but in London now, you can also use Euros in many shops to buy stuff. Euros are probably not the kind of currency you can use for things like pubs, clubs, taxis and trains. Its mainly retail shops that allow purchases with Euros.\n\nIn addition, in some shops you can also use dollars but these are rare. Harrods for example, gives you the option to pay in US Dollars.

There is no German Mark any longer. They use the Euro. But if there were, it would be about $1.00= 1.53 marks.

It is called "pound" Sterling and the ratio changes periodically to the dollar.  Last time I checked it was 1.80 to the dollar but I remember in the 1960's it was 2.40 to the dollar.  It fluctuates.

I would think everyone knows how to get it right, but explaining why the given calculation is wrong is what we are interested. \n\nThe key here is that £2 came from the £27.  So there is no  way you add £2 to the £27 again!

i guess, Pound is bigger than US Dollar if converted to any currency.\n\nsimply, UK pound is bigger than US Dollar.

it's based on demand/supply of the money. It can also be determined by government policy, like when euro first come out.

There are people who make their living with just that very theory. They speculate which currencies will rise and fall against which other currencies, and buy or sell in advance. There really is no way for a layman to tell, even the "experts" rarely agree. \nThe only advice I can give is to look up the performance of the Pound over the last year or so and compare it to today's rate. If it is near the yearly high, then wait a little. If it is near the bottom or about average then go ahead and buy now. \nRemember, this is by no means expert advice I am giving. I have traveled extensively and exchanged numerous currencies over the years, so this is just a good educated guess. \nGood luck and happy travels.
