4) That's got me thinking, how do wizard children born to Muggle families get any money to spend in Diagon Alley and at Hogsmeade?  Is there some sort of Muggle/wizard currency-exchange service?  Would wizards have any use whatsoever for Muggle money?  Ron has never seen Muggle money, so that suggests it can't be used in the WW.

Melissa, who thinks too much about pointless things ^^;

 

me: 

In CoS, we saw that Hermione's parents are exchanging Muggle money at Gringgot's Bank when Harry and the Weasleys enter into it. Plus in PS/SS, when Harry first came into the bank, he saw goblins weighing Rubies. So wizards from muggle families can use either muggle money or pieces of jewelry to exchange for galleons, sickles, or knuts.
