How many EEKs for a dollar?

Collecting coins has been an interest from childhood. Uncle Junior sailed the seven seas and upon his return would jangle his pockets and produce all manner of oddities - funny shaped coins and realyo, trulyo notes from foreign lands. Unearthing the motley collection stirred up dust and memories - wonders and imaginings - the promise of easy riches, of wealth beyond all measure. A thousand of anything meant palaces and treasure chests, freedom and endowment. With a hundred everyone could have a Frosty Shake when the van arrived (when it took a year to save the tuppences). The musty notes unfurled and still pronounced on one Singapore dollar note - the word 'real'.

There will be a fair bit of quick-change-money times in the countries that we will travel through - at times a  country in a day. The Euro will be fairly common but other countries have their own currencies.
Austria has 100 groschen to the schilling and a schilling is about 10 cents.
Czech Republic has 100 hellers to a Koruna and 17 of those will make a dollar.
100 senti in Estonia makes a Kroon - the abbreviation being EEK and 12 EEKS equal a dollar.
France has the Franc with 100 centimes and there are 4 Francs in a dollar.
Eight Hong Kong dollars apparently equals one Australian dollar but the Singapore dollar is closer to ours - being just a little under -SGD $1.36 = AU$1.
Take a Punt in Ireland (the other name for the Irish pound) with 100 pingin or pence and that is about half a dollar a pound. I hope I get to see a Punt.
Latvia has 100 santimes to its EU Lat and two LVLs will buy a dollar.
Lithuania has 100 centu to the Litas - LTL2.5 to a dollar.
Poland has the Zloty - there really is such a thing as a Zloty - not that it was ever doubted - but to think that they are more than just the words in books! and that there are 100 groszy that make the zloty! Three of them will make a dollar.
Russia has the Ruble and a hundred Kopecks but 30 of those are needed for our dollar.
And England has the Pound and pence. Almost two to the dollar.

While it all looks good on paper the reality will differ more. The bits and pieces, rates of change, opportunism and must have now will leave a mark not true, of what the price for what we want is, and what it is at home. The relative value of goods and services is still a mystery and confounds a jaded mind. The line all musty and confused. How much is labour worth from here to there and what is something lost. The precious pieces - flotsam now in floods and crushed by earth and gone in death; the labour hard, and earnings sucked so easily from our hands by life itself and fees and bills and food and room and board. It seems so flimsy, foreign, trite to to quantify the value down to bits of tin and strips of paper, yet even so the wealth it brings of lands and cultures, folklore fat and songs and sights - for bits of silver, and pieces of eight - a-jangling in the bag. Not quite sell the soul, not 30 in the purse, but must be careful still. And while true riches are not found in chits and kopecks I still will bring some home.
