Actually we do.  In the intro of FBAWTFT it says that comic relief 
has raised 174 million pounds which is 34,000,872 galleons, 14 
sickles and 7 knuts.

Unless my maths has deteriorated more than I thought, (which is 
entirely possible, and please correct me if I'm wrong - though I'll 
be far too embarrassed to actually read the messages) that makes an 
approximate exchange rate of:

1 Galleon = £5.12  
1 sickle = 30.1p 
1 knut = 1.04p  

Someone else can convert it into fluid ounces, though...
