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 in East Asia,
  • Australians in Southeast Asia and New Zealand,
  • Indians in South Asia, and
  • South Africans in southern Africa.
