# Multiple Currencies
> Record in the currency you were paid in, read the book in the currency you think in. 166 currencies, converted daily.
If you invoice in dollars, pay for software in euros and live on rands, your
book has three currencies in it whether or not the product admits it.
myClerkBook records each entry in the currency it happened in, and on Premium
shows the whole book in the one currency you think in.
**166 currencies are supported**, searchable by code or by name in the currency
selector, and each book picks its own base.
## How it works
Chosen when the book is created and changeable afterwards in that book's
settings. Each book has its own, so a client book can sit in dollars while
your personal one sits in rands.
The currency is a field on the entry, like the amount. It is what the money
actually was, and it does not change.
Totals, charts and panels show converted figures, with the original amount
and its currency shown alongside so you never lose sight of what was
really paid.
## What conversion does and does not touch
**Your stored amounts never change.** An entry is kept in the currency you
recorded it in, at the figure you recorded. Conversion happens as the page is
drawn, so today's rates change what a chart looks like and never what your
records say.
**Rates are refreshed once a day** and read from that day's cached set, so
every panel on a screen agrees with every other one. Two people looking at the
same book on the same day see the same numbers.
**The original is always in view.** A converted figure is shown with the amount
and currency it came from beside it. A book that quietly restated a 40 euro
invoice as a rand figure alone would be hiding the only number your client
would recognise.
## Basic and Premium
| | Basic | Premium |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Recording in any currency | Yes | Yes |
| Automatic conversion | No, each amount is shown as entered | Yes, to the book's base currency |
| Currencies supported | 166 to choose from | 166, converted daily |
| Base currency per book | One book, one currency | A separate base per book, up to five |
| Currency exposure panel | Not included | Volume by original currency, before conversion |
On Basic your entries are shown in the currencies you entered them in, without
conversion. Nothing is lost and nothing is blocked. What Basic does not do is
add them together into one figure for you.
The **currency exposure** widget is part of the Premium widget library. It
breaks your volume down by the currency each entry was recorded in, before
any conversion, which is the panel to look at when you want to know how
exposed you actually are.
