In our country we changed currency from Slovak Koruna to Euro and Google made Doodle for us.

Spelling their name GOOGL€ seems eerily analogous to writing MICRO$OFT.

[put at-character here] Roger:

hm .. yeah .. logo is ready allright ..

but what abut the fact that google still thinks that we are using SKKs and it's converting EURO <-> SKK badly? e.g:

"1 Euro = 29.5818287 Slovak koruna"

I was in slovakia this year during new year and I have used the google exchange calculator hundereds of times... now that I found out that it wasn't my mistake that my quick conversations never seemed to work out (assuming google was all knowing :P) what would be a reliable/official source for exchange rates+calculator...?
