While this isn't exactly the same thing, in Ireland when we used a credit card they wrote the bill in US dollars instead of in Euros and they used an exchange rate that wasn't friendly($1.32 instead of $1.27) to the traveller. After it happend once, I asked everyone to bill me in Euros (rather than in dollars)so I would get the correct exchange rate when I charged it to my credit card.
