It's not just "A bank", it's "The bank" - the Icelandic Federal
Reserve :-). They're responsible for the Icelandic Krona (at least
until we finally enter the EU and make the switch to the Euro ;-).
I've been using their service and it's very reliable - but as you
say, there are not many currencies in that document. Their offices
are currently closed, but I'll call them up tomorrow and ask if it's
possible to get more into that document.
I'd like to see you try that with the US Federal Reserve. :-P

I actually might do that, relying on a bank's stability does not
seem a bad idea, but the list of currencies is very short. 15 or
something there... I need to be able to cover virtually anything.

The Central Bank of Iceland maintains a free service that allows
you to fetch the current exchange rate of the Icelandic Krona
(ISK) against other currencies. If you're adventurous, I guess you
could use that as your data source and extrapolate the exchange
rates you need, using ISK as the base for your calculations.
Current exchange rate:

Particular date (january 25th 2007):

If you are actually wild enught to try this, then - my hat off to
you - let me know and I'll translate the xml tags for you.

Hi

I don't know if there's a "machine readable" version, neither the
costs, nor the reliability, but it's the site I used to use to do
this kind of stuff before using the Dashboard widget. BTW what
about the site the dashboard widget uses?
Yours

we use xe.com.
we get an xml conversion file once per day that we parse and
then have methods to handle conversions. it's about 400 USD per
annum in think, which is very good value for a reliable service.
Ouch...
we tried and tested quite a few free services and, well, you
get what you pay for.
Was afraid of that...
Thanks
