Karona,

Not a dumb question at all. I guess Howard Wiseman (or whomever
sent you the quotes from Wiseman) is unaware of who is on the
Euro, since England is NOT on the Euro still. If you do send an
e-mail back, just ask for the GBP, since you are probably going
to have to get the exchange rate from your wire company/bank, or
through the credit card company, if he has started using credit
cards. He gave me the GBP numbers and left the conversion up to
me, instead of giving a converted price, since conversion rates
change so often. If you ARE going to purchase a case, my
suggestion would be to do so NOW, since a war with Iraq would
make all of the currencies pretty wild, and you might lose $50
to $100 in conversions if the US currency tanks abroad (if you
are in the US, that is.)

Spain does use the Euro. Here is a list of the countries who use
the Euro either as their main currency, or in addition to their
own...

Here is a currency converter that works well. I use it all the
time.

Hope this helps.
