This time, when we were connecting through Heathrow on the way back from our trip, I walked by a currency conversion booth, and I wanted to confirm my belief that no one should ever exchange money at airports, so I looked to see what the exchange rate was for US dollars.

Except, my eyes instantaneously locked on the line with the , and my initial conclusion was that the dollar must have gone crazy in the last two days. It took me several seconds to realize that I should have been looking for the icon instead.
