Not to my knowledge.  But I can relate about the exchange rates!  I live in Canada and for years our rate of exchange was about 1.67%.  Our dollar has been doing better these days, but who knows how long it will last. I bought something a week ago for $20.00 USD and my credit card shows I was charged $25.00 CAD. 

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
