A week or so later, I returned the item (unused) for credit to my account. Each transaction was posted to my U. S. account at the dollar value of the transaction, converted from Spanish pesetas to U. S. dollars at the official exchange rate on the day of posting. The exchange rate was not the same on both days; net result -- I re- ceived a credit of a few dollars profit on what should have been a break-even!
