Yes, had it on the DataHub for a while :-)

<http://thedatahub.org/dataset/open-exchange-rates>

See also: http://thedatahub.org/dataset?q=exchange+rates

The main exchange rates dataset I've been working on is:

<http://thedatahub.org/dataset/exchanges-rates>

Help welcome!

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDP_deflator) There is already some stuff being done: http://wiki.openspending.org/Financial_Transformations_Toolkit , but I wonder if others have the same problem, that they have financial data for some years and need to calculate the value change (e.g. inflation rate).

I've worked on this quite a bit before for what a HowMuchToday style
service and have been working recently on this so would love to
discuss :-)
