Notes for template use

It is easy to update this template: click on the XE.Com link in the template to go to a web page with current rates for the currency.
- Wikivoyage does not endorse XE.com—you can use another source for rates if you prefer, just be sure to identify your source in the template.
When updating the rates shown in the template, be sure to change the "as of" date too.
To avoid clutter, only major currencies should normally be used: US dollars, euros and British pounds.
In some cases, it may be appropriate to add other currencies where a country may receive a lot of visitors from nearby countries, e.g.,
- Canadian tourists in Mexico and the Caribbean,
- Chinese and Japanese in East Asia,
- Australians in Southeast Asia and the Pacific,
- Indians in South Asia,
- South Africans in southern Africa, and
- Turkish in Europe and Middle East
