Hello,

I did check it.  But the book was 2.50 pounds, right?  So, that would mean:
1 knut = 0.006112
1 sickle = 0.1772
1 galleon = 3.0132
And reversely:
1 = 0.3318 galleon

Which is different from your calculations.  Of course, I could have gotten
the "2.50 pounds = 14 sickles and 3 knuts" wrong.  Did I?

U.S. conversions, btw:
1 cent = 1.0251 knut
1 dollar = 3.53 sickles = 0.2076 galleon
reverse:
1 knut = 0.98 cent
1 sickle = 0.28 dollar
1 galleon = 4.83 dollar

They seem to be using 1 = $1.6 exchange rate.
