Michael and his parents must buy stuff for Michael who´ll go to Hogwarts this year. But in the Leaky Cauldron the Homewoods tried to pay with muggle cash. The barkeeper said that they must go to Gringott´s and change their muggle money. So after the barkeeper guided the Homewoods to Diagon Alley they walked along the street and entered Gringotts.
A small Goblin greeted the family and guided them into the big marble hall. Michael asked a goblin: "Sorry, sir, but i want to exchange muggle money...".
The goblin looked at Michael and said: "Ohhhh....so you are the first wizard in your family?? First i must tell you that we have got three different kinds of coins. This bronze coins are Knuts. 29 Knuts are a Sickle, this silver coins. And 17 of them is as valuable as a golden galleon. How much money have you got?"
The Homewoods counted their money and Dennis, Michal´s father, decided, after a little discussion with his wife, to exchange 1500 pounds into wizard money. The goblin ordered an other goblin to fetch Michael´s new money. After five minutes the goblin returned. "Here is your money, mister. If you want to safe some money: You have got the vault number 799..."
"Thank you, sir." Michael replied and he and his family leaved Gringott´s. After the portal was closed by a goblin, Michaels father said: "Weird creatures....I never saw such guys like them....". And together they walked along the street and bought Michael´s new stuff.....
