The “European Central Bank” provides daily currency exhange rates (http://www.ecb.int/stats/exchange/eurofxref/html/index.en.html) also as XML; once I created a small tool to import that http://www.msdynamics.de/download/file.php?id=458

Well, it’s all EURO, so I’m not sure if it helps you …

(I have to admit it’s pretty old and pretty much BETA [:$] but I guess you could improve it)
