Thanks. The USD/EUR exchange rate was typically hovering around the 1.24 mark in November, so, at comparable spread, one would have expected somewhere around 16.2AR$ to the €. Based on your figures, therefore, it sounds like I should expect taking a hit in an order of magnitude of 4 to 5% if I want to exchange EUR rather than USD.
