All better now.

There is a script that updates the exchange rates twice a day that was not running properly.

Thanks for letting us know!

It should read: $145 and $138 and $137

The amount is the same: you give 100 euros but the amount on dollars is bigger. Don't forget that the euro is losing power. That's why. It is good when you change euros for dollars. But if you change dollars for euros... you loose. I think so.
