    Hi,

    Just hoping someone might know, for planning purposes where Google get their exchange rates from, I use xe.com for planning purposes but they seem to vary quite a bit from the rates Google uses.

    It's the daily conversion rates, probably from XE or other similar site.

    Probably from an official exchange rate mechanism.

    Does Google issue foreign checks in US dollars or local currency?
