This has been discussed before, and consensus is that currency conversion is quite problematic. Which currency should it be converted to (why US$ and not for instance £ or €, as football has larger interest in UK and Europe than the US), all the time this article will probably be read more by Norwegians than any other particular nationality. There is also the issue of which exchange rate to use, as it will invariably change over time (for instance the NOK to US$-rate has fluctuated between 9.50 to 5.50 kr/$ over the past decade). Should these rates also be adjusted for inflation, and should the inflation rates be adjusted using the home or foreign currencies, and should these be converted with today's or the historic exchange rate? Finding an approximate exchange rate for whatever currency a reader prefers is very easy on the internet. Thus consensus is to not convert currencies, as the only factual information is the actual amount of money in the actual currency being used. Arsenikk(talk)11:58, 30 July 2012 (UTC)reply
