print(converted_price)
# Money('8.84040', currency='EUR')It will also create additional steps if it cannot convert directly:
from prices import Money
from django_prices_openexchangerates import exchange_currency
converted_price = exchange_currency(Money(10, currency='GBP'), 'EUR')
print(converted_price)
# Money('13.31313588062401085236264978', currency='EUR')The exchange_currency supports Money, TaxedMoney, MoneyRange and TaxedMoneyRange.

{% load prices_multicurrency %}
<p>Price: {{ foo.price.gross|in_currency:'USD'|amount }} ({{ foo.price.net|in_currency:'USD'|amount }} + {{ foo.price.tax|in_currency:'USD'|amount }} tax)</p>Installation
