I've uploaded a conversion chart for arabic numerals. Some of you who went to American schools might be confused, you are thinking but don't we use arabic numerals? Our numbers are derived from those numerals but over the last thousand years they have changed into the current appearance.

The chart is stored in a basic jpeg format so any computer should be able to view it. You will find it here: Arabic Numerals Converted. It's free and you are welcome to use it wherever you like as long as you do not alter the file.

A few words about coins using Arabic numerals(countries in the middle east and North Africa): The dates are also written using AH dating as opposed to AD dating. So if you see a date like 1371, you are correct. 1371 AH is 1952 AD. Want to be able to use Arabic numbers in your text? Here's 0 thru 9: ?.?.?.?.?.?.?.?.?.? Just copy and paste. :)

I also posted a chart for Japanese/Chinese numbers which is available here: Chinese and Japanese Numbers Translated
