A snapshot of currency conversion rates in Dublin City Centre, June 26th 2013

There's an astounding lack of published information online about the foreign exchange rates available to punters in Dublin, in fact the only published data I could find were the An Post rates. I was curious how competitive these rates were, in particular with the launch of the new PostFX prepaid currency card, so I did a little shopping around. In order of value for €1000:
