Anyone know of any good 'free' currency converter / live(ish) currency update web services?
I have just been having a play with these services at: http://fx.cloanto.com/webservices/CurrencyServer.asmx and have got the exchange rates working, but it requires the user to enter the currency codes i.e. GBP - USD. Are these codes or symbols?
Anyone know of any better alternatives or know of a way to pull in the currency codes from somewhere, so I can populate a dropdown with them?
There is a mehtod() in the above web service to get a currency code one at a time, but that is obviously no good!
