If there are 29 knuts in a sickle and there is 17 sickles in a galleon then how many galleons are there in a regular dollar. I need to know how many galleons are in a non-magical dollar bill for 1.50?

Answer 1

We don't have a clue! There has never been an exact exchange rate between Muggle money and Wizard money mentioned, though we know it must exist, because Hermione's parents made the exchange.

If you look on the HPL wiki's they are amazing! http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizworld/money.html

• 1 bronze Knut = £0.01 (US about 2 cents)
• 1 silver Sickle = £0.29 (about US$0.57)
• 1 Galleon = £5.00 (more or less US$9.75)

http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizworld/galleons.html This here is also amazing! It's a converter!

you could also, look at an ounce of gold and try to work out the approximate number of gallons it would take to make that ounce of gold. then you get the price of the gold divide it with the number of gallons. and you have your answer I came up with about 24.3 pounds to a gallon if an ounce of gold could make 56 gallons.

to find out the sickles and nuts you just narrow it down again. divide 24.3 by the number of sickles to a gallon which is about '1.4' pounds then again to get the nuts which is about '0.048' pounds. just round the answers off.
