snake,
I agree with MikeR. Even if you could do it, I can't imagine it's worth the trouble.

This probably belongs in the EE thread.
After many years in "bidness", I ask, why does it seem that playing around with rules and regulations is more lucrative than making something, building something, growing something?

This question had me lying awake late... first wondering why not just bring back and hold onto say 1000 Euros (your saving account in your freezer type deal)... and then I ran the numbers if I had done this in 2004 (1.30 exchange rate) until now (say 1.55), I'd have made $250 over 4 years on my $1300 which is about 20% or just 5% a year, which is really not that great...
LOL Yea, I was clearly not really sleepy.

Well, of course.
It's NOT like it's YOUR MONEY, or anything.

1.46 in the St. Barth "News" today. How low can it go?
I was hoping 1:1 in January. :)
Some historical data to digest:
date exchange rate 9/03 1.1 1/04 1.25 1/05 1.32 1/06 1.18 1/07 1.3 1/08 1.45 today 1.50

Then add this article on currencies and oil prices to the mix.
