How to organize your Currency list for a trip
A focused currency list makes everyday conversions quicker. Keep the currencies for your current route near each other instead of scanning a long list for every purchase.
App used in this guide: Currency ↗
Before you begin
Identify the currencies actually used where you will pay. A country name, a retailer's display currency and the currency charged at checkout may not always be the same.
Step by step
- Open Convert in Currency and add the currencies you need.
- Use the list-editing controls to arrange frequently used rows.
- Remove unnecessary rows from the display when they distract from the task.
- Make a test conversion from each important source currency.
Check the result
Check the codes and names after rearranging the list. A row's position does not by itself determine the currency of an amount; select the appropriate row when entering a new price.
Limits and troubleshooting
Removing a currency from the list is organization, not a currency sale or deletion of a bank account. Before going offline, make sure the remaining currencies have loaded rate data and verify the last update.
