Is there a website that can chart historical exchange rates of any 2 currencies in the last 20 years , or more?

So far, the popular sites I have found do not go back past 10 years.

I would like to look at a chart of more than 10 years' history between any two currencies.

The only post I can find in metafilter is

http://ask.metafilter.com/25460/Exchange-Rate-Website

But it is not helpful.

I will settle for a website that only charts major currencies going back at least 10 years or more.

Preferably with charts, not just tables.

Please enlighten.

Thanks a million.

will give you the data, which you can graph in excel. It is limited to 500 days worth of data per request, so you'll have to collate the data yourself.

You could also try Wolfram|Alpha?

Thanks for the answers so far.

I am looking for more than 500 days worth of data.

I am interested in more than 10 years worth of data, which so far none of the websites I have encountered can provide.

Am I the only guy who is interested in more than 10 years of data between any 2 major currencies?
