WTF has happened to the rand/dollar....in Google

[Confu3ed]

I normally use google search, to quickly calculate the exchange rate to the rand, against various currencies. I typed in 1 dollar in South African rands and this is what I got: http://www.google.co.za/search?hl=en&rls=GGIC,GGIC:2006-51,GGIC:en&q=1+dollars+in+rands&meta=

Er... yeah

1 U.S. dollar = 39.492911 South African rands

$1 = R9.74

Yeah, WTF?

Mistake at Google.

Use www.xe.com
they use midmarket rates and as their site is a currency trading site they make sure their rates are correct. Google.com doesn't have that need .

its the same for the euro: http://www.google.co.za/search?hl=en&rls=GGIC,GGIC:2006-51,GGIC:en&q=1+euro+in+rands&meta=
The same for the pound: http://www.google.co.za/search?hl=e...51,GGIC:en&q=1+pound+in+ZAR&btnG=Search&meta=

WTF is going on?
