Maybe I am not hearing you correctly, but it seems as though you read 
my post wrong. I was not saying that the goblins are trading for 
muggle money, I am saying that they are taking all the muggle money 
(that people like Hermione's parents probably trade for wizard money) 
and trading it for wizard money. I don't see why the goblins would 
have any need for muggle money (unless a wizard wanted it for some 
reason), so they would probably want to exchange most of the muggle 
money that they acquire.

Was I clear enough that time?
