Currency converter webservice

Can anyone recommend a free or commercial currency conversion webservice. I realize google throws up a few, however I'm looking for some recommendations from personal experience. I'm particularly interested in any which can guarantee a certain level of accuracy and up time.

Doug Thanks for the links but as Phillip pointed out I don't think they are all webservices, also have you used any of them?

If you are specifically looking for a webservice, i'm using one from xmethods: <CFINVOKE WEBSERVICE="http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/CurrencyExchangeService.wsdl"              METHOD="getRate"              RETURNVARIABLE="myRate">       <CFINVOKEARGUMENT NAME="country1"                         VALUE="Euro"/>       <CFINVOKEARGUMENT NAME="country2"                         VALUE="United States"/> </CFINVOKE>    <cfoutput>DollarsPerEuro Rate from Xmethods: #myRate#</cfoutput> I watch it by wrapping it in a try / catch block and having it send me an email whether it succeeds or fails. I also found that once in a great while, it was returning a negative value, so now i also check to see if it's positive and only update the exchange rate on the site if it is. Otherwise i stay with the old value. It's free for one rate - i just can't remember where i found the list of countries supported.

----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- Just as an update to this - you can open a connection to the service and then just ask it for the rates you want <cfset WSconvert = createobject("webservice", "http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/CurrencyExchangeService.wsdl")>; <cfset thisRate = WSconvert.getRate(Country1, Country2)> So, you can convert from countries to others in a loop once the service is "open"

Thanks for that, that was the one I settled on Kola ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- Just as an update to this - you can open a connection to the service and then just ask it for the rates you want <cfset WSconvert = createobject("webservice", "http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/CurrencyExchangeService.wsdl")>; <cfset thisRate = WSconvert.getRate(Country1, Country2)> So, you can convert from countries to others in a loop once the service is "open"   _____
