fun with money

The currency of Estonia is the kroon.
Now, I know that lots of countries have currencies that are the local language version of "crown", but I still think "kroon" has a certain alien appeal.

Plus which, the symbol for it is EEK.

So (since Google knows both currency and math), you can ask Google questions like

http://www.google.ca/search?q=1+EEK+in+Canadian+dollars

and it will happily inform you that

1 Estonian kroon = 0.0987520763 Canadian dollars

You can also do stuff like

(1800 + 2350 + 1458) estonian kroons in canadian dollars

if you need to figure out combined costs... in case you're wondering

(1 800 + 2 350 + 1 458) * Estonian kroons = 553.801644 Canadian dollars
