I need a web service or data feed for real time currency conversion (where real time can be anywhere from 15 minutes to a day). Google turns up a plethora of options, but I'd like to hear from people who have actual (or even anecdotal) experience, because a Google Ad and a nice web site do not a reliable service make.

A long time ago, I was taught to store to currency values in databases as cents (or the local equivalent) to avoid rounding problems with floating point column types. Is this a sound practice, or a bunch of hogwash?
