About this conversion

Wizarding currency has one of the most precisely defined exchange rates in fiction: Hagrid tells Harry in his very first trip to Gringotts that there are 17 Sickles to a Galleon and 29 Knuts to a Sickle, which works out to exactly 493 Knuts per Galleon. Unlike most fictional currencies, these ratios are exact and canon, not estimated.

A real-world dollar value is much less certain, J.K. Rowling's own charity-book math implies something like $7 per Galleon, but a frequently cited fan calculation based on in-story prices (wands, brooms, textbooks) lands closer to $25 per Galleon. This converter uses the $25 estimate, clearly separate from the exact coin ratios above it.

Units supported: Galleons, Sickles, Knuts, US Dollars (fan estimate).

Source note: Coin ratios (1 Galleon = 17 Sickles = 493 Knuts) are exact canon from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The $25/Galleon rate is a popular fan estimate, not official.
