What website would you recommend that would give me the most up to date and accurate conversion rates of the US dollar to the Won?

Also, I know nothing about economics, so does anybody have any thoughts about how the Won will measure up to the US dollar in the future?

Thanks for your help.

I use www.xe.com.

Go with what the infamous Spliff recommended. No reason to get information that isn't applicable to your situation from xe.com. You can also get good info from bloomberg.com (click on an article, then "regions," then "asia," and then "asian currencies"), and although it is updated only every hour or so, the updates often come with a small paragraph or two regarding WHY the KRW is moving the way it is.

Google Finance also gives decent (thought not real-time) quotes. The historical graph is also useful (albeit sometimes depressing, especially these days).

Go to http://finance.google.com and type "USDKRW" into the search box.
