Set base currency and exchange rates
Before you can make currency conversions, you need to
choose a base currency and add exchange rates. The rate
of the base currency is always 1. The base currency
determines the conversion rates of the other currencies.

new rate, that is, how many units of the currency equal
one unit of the base currency you have selected.

enter the new rates because all previously set exchange
rates are set to zero.
