In [70]: from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

In [71]: soup = BeautifulSoup(html)

In [72]: [tr.find('td').text for tr in soup.findAll('tr')]
Out[72]: [u'Euro', u'Australian dollar', u'Canadian dollar']
```

for the last items:

```
In [73]: [tr.findAll('td')[-1].text for tr in soup.findAll('tr')]
Out[73]: [u'111.6092', u'85.4785', u'82.1079']
```
