| | |  Muggle Studies Lesson 1 - Currency Conversion and Muggle Fashions
Antonio walked into the classroom, getting things ready for the students ahead of time. There were two differrent subjects he wanted to cover in today's lesson, so he knew that time was of the essence. The first part of the lesson was going to focus on currency conversion, so he began to get his materials out for the students as they entered the room.
The first item was a converter chart which would convert wizarding money into United States dollars - Harry Potter currency converter
The second item was another converter chart, this one converted the British pound, the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Euro dollar, the Australian dollar and the Japanese yen back and forth into one of the other type of currency. Currency Converter - Yahoo! Finance
There were other types of currency in the world, of course, but Antonio had found these sources easy to work with and thought the students would be able to use the materials easily in class.
He waited for the students to show up, calling out instructions to each person as they entered.
"Good morning, everyone. We are going to be working with a couple different things today, but the first part deals with currency. Please take one of each of the two handouts as you enter, then take a seat and we'll be getting ready soon. Feel free to take a chocolate chip cookie, as well, and perhaps some pumpkin juice." He gestured to the serving area to the side of his desk. | |

"The United Kingdom uses the Pound. Or sterling as it is known," Theo said. "I don't know what the US and Japan use."

Can anyone tell me what the most common types of currency are in the United Kingdom, the United States and Japan? They all three use something different, that will give you a hint, and I'm looking for the most commonly recognized currency form for each country." "The British Pound, or Euro, in england, The US dollar in the States, And the Yen in Japan sir." said Tobi with his hand in the air. He saw a lot of tourists in the family business.

She hoped the next question was something she actually knew something about.
And as luck would have it, it was. Aggie's hand shot up into the air. "Pounds, Dollars, and Yen." Maybe she wouldn't have as hard of a time in class this year as she thought.

Jake raised his hand. "UK uses sterling, commonly known as the pound. The US uses the dollar and I think Japan uses Yen," he tried.

Lizzie raised her hand again, quite sure of this one. The US has the dollar, UK has the Pound and Japan, I think they've got the Yen.

Paris raised her hand, "The UK uses the pound sterling, or quid as they call it. The USA uses the dollar, or a buck, or money they put on a plastic card they call a debit card, and the Japanese use the yen. Thought they will take euros or dollars." She explained.

Melanie plopped down in a seat next to Ana and Candence. She leaned casually back in her seat, smiling. "Hi, guys. I hope you don't mind if I sit here.." she said. The girl ate her snacks like everyone else. She laughed quietly at the people who didn't know what bubble gum was, but stopped herself quickly. No one had laughed at her when she had asked about the wizarding world.
The teacher asked an obvious question and even though she had only been in the wizarding world for about a month she was sure she knew the answer. Melanie raised her hand. "Galleons, sickles and knuts." she said.
As the next question came up, this one about muggle currency she knew the answer. "In US they use dollars, Japan yen and England Pounds. There's other ones too though like pennies and nickles. Those are the only other ones I know cause I'm American..." she smiled, hoping she was'nt being a know-it-all. She simply wanted to earn points for her house. | |

Qaz was surprised at how many knew Muggle currency....
She leaned back in her chair and discreetly blew a bubble...making sure it didn't pop. That would be most rude.
