Literally shiny.

From the Department of Really Damn Useful Links: international exchange rates in the 19th century. Fairly stable throughout the century because everyone was on the gold or silver standards.

The basics: 1 pound sterling = 5 dollars = 25 francs = 5 pesos = 4 rubles, and calculating any of the German and Austrian currencies is enough to give anyone a headache. (The site also has a note about Polish currency, for those interested.)
