That's actually not a bad idea. There's a currency trading website - i forget the address, but you can look it up pretty easily - that offers to teach you how to deal in currency markets by providing a downloadable game, giving you 10,000 virtual dollars and letting you have at it. Using the tools they provide, you can earn virtual fortunes while learning the ins and outs of trading. When you're ready, they let you open an account - if you find it's for you.
