OK, after hunting around for a bit, I found this solution at experts-exchange:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/.NET/Visual_Basic.NET/Q_23678096.html
(it's a subscription service, so I just copied the question and answer here)
question:
Im trying to find a currency converter webservice. Google has a
Finance API but I can't seem to figure out how to do currency
conversion using it. Does anybody know if the Finance API can do
currency conversion, or any other suitable converter web services?
answer:
This is a webservice which has the required methods.

WSDL Schema Location
http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WSDL
Anyway, the Android SDK uses Java, anyone interested can find relevent
info here:

I think the currency converter is a great idea. It's simple, useful,
and it hasn't been done on the phone yet. Let's do it!
