Zelco's X-Changer currency exchanger is ideal for the traveler going into multiple countries and using foreign currencies. It's really easy to use. First, enter the currency exchange rate and press the "M" button, then press the "=" button. Next, enter the amount of foreign currency being converted and hit the "=" button again. Voilà! It displays the amount in your currency. Once those steps have been completed, the X-Changer is programmed, which means the first two steps can be skipped until entering another country or using a new currency. It's very small, measuring 4 by 1-1/4 by 1/4 inches (height by width by depth), and very lightweight, so it won't take up a lot of space in a day pack. The X-Changer comes with a battery, neck lanyard, and key ring. --A.J. Rathbun

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, May 6, 2007

By	B. Jacobs - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Compact and extremely easy to use for those of us who are not math genius's. Also love the fact that it's on a neck thong for quick reference, eliminating the need for digging in the purse or backpack - but yet it can be tucked out of the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Change! Nothing stays the same...X-Changed!, April 19, 2004

By	cousinpaco (Cincinnati, OH United States) - See all my reviews

So, there I was--my first trip to Amsterdam, and I'd forgotten to properly estimate just how much cash to bring. Being the stereotypical "ugly American," I was unsure of the going exchange rate for certain services I wished to pay for, and certain items I wished to buy.

You can't exactly blame me; I doubt YOU know how many Dutch Guilders or Euros are the equivalent of a wad of folded-over American singles.

Mmm. That makes me think of Kraft cheese slices. Man, those things are GOOD.

Anyway, I wouldn't want to hand a stack of foreign currency to a Dutch girl (or a Russian one, for that matter), only to realize later that I'd mistakenly given her a thousand bucks U.S.! Or, just imagine accidentally paying double for a tab!

That's where this little beauty comes in. I learned my lesson and picked up the Zelco X-Changer. Once you've programmed the exhange rate, simply plug in the U.S. dollar amount, and the X-Changer quickly computes the sum for any transaction you can imagine.

I'm not wild about the conspicuous light blue color, since I make some purchases out on the street, but the small size allows me to take the Zelco X-Changer into any establishment I choose. And the handy neck-lanyard allows me to keep it close, even when my hands are otherwise occupied!

Wham Bam! Oh, Amsterdam! Yeah, yeah, yeah...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Currency Converter in Use, October 7, 2007

By	Janet A. Whaley (Pasadena, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently purchased the Zelco X-Changer Currency Exchanger for an upcoming trip to Latin America. I was visiting four countries with four different currencies to deal with.

I found this product exceedingly easy to program, a breeze to use, and it's small size made it ideal to fit in my travel wallet to have available when I needed it.

I can highly recommend this, and was so glad I bought it!
