And to my mind (I worked for a trade association that handled calculations in most currencies - from Sterling to Italian and Turkish lire, and hyperinflation currencies like Zimbabwe) the idea of automatic conversion is actually extremely dangerous. Quite often it's an end-user requirement to use x dp (can be a daft requirement) or x sf (we used 4sf, the eurozone had a LEGAL obligation to use 6 back in the day). And if you're dealing with a Zimbabwe or the like, do you really want to use today's exchange rate on yesterday's transaction?
