... a credit card, so the monetary conversions are done at the bank based upon the rates for the day they receive the transaction

That sounds simple enough.

These maps are the sort of thing my children really enjoy. Even if the translations aren't unarguable, they'll have a good time looking at them and trying to figure out what the "real map" name is.

And it was....I just now bought a set hehehehe!

One thing though, the only spot (so far) in which the full currency conversion information was displayed was in the original confirmation screen.  In the email receipt they only show the amount in Pounds.  My expectation is that the full conversion info will be indicated on my credit card statement, however.  You may wish to make a note of the US Dollar amount and conversion rate of your purchase when you see the first screen that indicates that, however, just so that you can keep everything straight continuously through the paper trail.

Indeed this sounds like a great thing for kids!  It's certain to stimulate interest in travel, history, as well as language and culture.
