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.

Subject: 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.
Thanks
