Canadian Dollar US Dollar | Euro Danish Krone Great British Pound Russian Ruble Saudi Arabian Riyal South African Rand Swedish Krona Swiss Franc UAE Dirham | Brazilian Real Columbian Peso Mexican Peso | Australian Dollar Chinese Yuan Hong Kong Dollar Indian Rupee Japanese Yen Singapore Dollar South Korean Won |

My personal favourite is the Japanese site, as I am a self-confessed Otaku, and so love seeing anything of mine in Japanese.
