How to Convert 65 Dollars to Pounds

In 2009, for every one Great Britain pound you would spend 1.5661 US dollars, according to the Federal Reserve. Exchange rates, or foreign-exchange rates, tell you how much one kind of currency is worth in terms of another kind of currency. Rates can fluctuate throughout the days based on financial market quotes by banks. Conversion of US dollars, or USD, to United Kingdom pounds, or GBP, can be accomplished by use of a conversion calculator online or, if you know the conversion rate, by use of a household calculator and some arithmetic.
