Roughly an hour ago I deposited the dc9 euros into SPI's Chase checking
account. The €3935 became $5208.76, for an exchange rate of 1.3237. This is
relatively good for a retail transaction; Google's mid-market average (ignoring
the bank's fee etc) was 1.4095. Even more importantly, the funds are now
deposited, trackable, spendable, transferable, etc.
