As I live in the UK, it's more. By the time I add on my greedy banks 
conversion fees, etc. then if I'm honest and add on any import 
duties/customs, etc. it's way more than just 10 cents.

And I know you'd rather pay for something in canadian dollars as opposed 
to sterling, well it works the other way too. I'd rather pay in sterling 
than any kind of dollars.
