You could also think about using geolocation to pre-populate the first box. They have a free database and API that would work for this application: http://www.maxmind.com/app/support

And use cookies so that the value in the first box is the same as it was last time.

While you're at it, why not expand the site so it contains more information about countries, e.g. include internet country codes. Include currencies for the from and to countries and currency conversions.

Like the idea of keeping the previous values, though I'll try to see if I can do this without cookies.

In regards to the second idea, I'm trying to keep the site as simple as possible, and adding anything else will only hurt (imho).

I agree. Of course you can add a link to another single service site of you (or Wikipedia etc), that include that information.
