I cant convert money in the converter because I have the 2019 version of Google. How would I convert 2,000,000 pounds to US dollars?

There are several online conversion sites. Do a search for "currency exchange rates" or "pounds to dollars." At a recent exchange rate, 2 million pounds were worth 2.56 million US dollars.
