If you go to yahoo finance and to the currency converter, they have very small pocket guides that are designed to be printed out.
I printed out two each for USD to EURO, USD to pounds, USD to Czech and USD to Swiss.
The guide shows 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 150, 500, 10000 increments. Really easy to figure out the prices in forgeign countries.
I'm going to stick one of each in my day pack and then one in my money belt.
I would give you a direct link but the link won't work.
The thing is, Jason, is that this changes on a daily basis. What you printed out today may be completely different 2 weeks from now.
Its just a quick reference guide. I will be going from Italy to Switzerland, to Czech and the UK which all have different currency. It's just a rough tool to see how much you're paying. If the currency changes its only going to be in the penny range.
http://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/ also allows you to print a traveler's cheat sheet. Unless there are major rate changes, I would currently estimate that £1=$1.50 and that €1=$1.25 (or €4=$5). The mathematically challenged may want a cheat sheet. The truly obsessed can look up the day's Visa credit or debit card conversion rate and use a calculator: http://www.corporate.visa.com/pd/consumer_services/consumer_ex_rates.jsp .

I think Jason knows this, but having used this tool... it's a guide. It's not like the 'rate' you access via the net daily is going to be the one that shows on your credit card bill. That transaction can take a day or two to go through, there can be currency charges and depending on the "rate" you looked at, you weren't ever getting that anyway. (Soem posters on here keep referring to the rate that currency traders get which is better then the rate you and I are going to get :) )
