Notes: add a currency
- you can pick up new currencies from the official ISO 4217 list
- you can define a custom currency for discontinued or cryptocurrency
When you define a custom currency, please take care of the following:
- the Name must be at least 3 chars long
- the ISO code is optional, but you cannot change it easily later on
- the ISO code must be 3 chars long and cannot be the same an existing ISO 4217 one
Notes: Online Currency Update
This is an extra feature relying on a third party web service.
Your currencies may not be supported:
- as base currency: and nothing will update
- as a target currency: this currency will not be updated
