I am confused on how it came to be $25. Did the USD weaken considerably against the Sterling? Or was their additional transaction fees imposed by your bank? Of course, if the USD strengthened you would have been ahead.
It became c.$25 mainly due to the charges for exchanging one currency to another then back. The actual loss due to currency fluctuation is a small part of the total.
