Task:
In 2002, I sent $10,000. to my overseas account and had it converted to Euros. Let's say I did this in May of that year.
What was the Euro value at that point of conversion?
What is the Euro value today?
Should I keep the money in Euros or convert it back to US $? (what is the dollar value today?)
What if I hope to use the money as a partial down payment on a property in France?
What if I just want to dip into it to provide "walking around money" as I travel in Europe?
