not really... if it were that easy it would’ve been found out long before...

I forgot that CC companies probably do exchange rates real time, so you can’t get a “Euro Vs Dollar historical table” and cross-reference it.

The best I’m doing is getting numbers kinda close, but no real overall pattern. For example, my Euro-converted 24.95 *might* be more likely to have been paid in Euros than the actual $39.17 amount, but who can say for sure...

Anyone can download the sub-200 amount here:

Yes, conversion would be a function of the switch, and real time.

From a statistical/anecdotal standpoint, it would be interesting to know whether the # of odd-amount contributions is much, much higher for one campaign, or pretty even for both.
