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).
Selecting a currency to display
Any page on WikiOverland that contains a price, will contain the currency selector where the user can select their preferred currency (and unit when applicable).
An example is shown at the top right of this page, "Currency to display".
Look in the list now to see the 125 currencies WikiOverland can convert between.
Once the user makes a selection, all prices on the page will be displayed in that currency.
For Example, I've entered the following as 100 United States dollars, and it will be converted into whatever currency you choose above: $100.00 USD
The selection is stored in a cookie, so all future pages will also display in the chosen currency and unit.
