I don't have my books handy.
Better still: what would your exchange rate be? Remember Harry bought every different type of treat on the Hogwart's Express in Philosopher's Stone. Hagrid went to Gringotts with Harry and withdrew money from his parents vault. Ron didn't have money for treats or new robes or books. Mr Weasley made wizard money. I am guessing there's not much difference. A big family on one income either currency can be a challenge. Just my thoughts!!
Galleon= £5 or $8.53 USD
Sickle= £0.29 or $0.49 USD
Knut= £0.01 or $0.01 USD
Sickle= £0.29 or $0.49 USD
Knut= £0.01 or $0.01 USD


The addmission letter from Hogwarts received received before the first year for muggle borns might have insturctions to enter Diagonal Alley and how to make the currency exchange in Gringotts!
