Currency Conversion

What's the general conversion rate for Galleons?

1 New Zealand dollar is roughly 70 cents US, 30-40pence UK, 50cents Euro.

Wizarding money and it's exchange rate is a bit iffy, tbh. A lot of it doesn't really add up. JKR once said that one galleon was approximately £5, but then the prices of some things in the books didn't quite fit in with this.
Plus since we don't have sickles and knuts here, galleons tend to be worth a lot more. I guess we could just say that this is 'cos of inflation and all, since it is like 2023 now.
I dunno, there isn't really a definite answer, but check out this, it's about as much info as you'll get.

I think at the point where we try to figure out an exchange rate for wizarding money on HNZ that we've gone too far.
Sorry, but it's true. The fact that everything on HNZ is only done in Galleons ruins any chance we'd have of figuring out such an exchange, anyway.

Sorry.
