Prices on WikiOverland

WikiOverland contains prices entered in different currencies. Sometimes it's the currency local to the country in question, and sometimes it's the preferred currency of the person editing the article. WikiOverland handles this by automatically converting prices into any currency the reader chooses, and in the case of gas and diesel prices, it also converts the unit of measure (liters or gallons).
