Currency conversion for Commerce?

[Lenny Warren]

Is there such a thing that would allow a user to set a price in commerce, and the plugin, core software, API or whatever could work out other currencies and autofill those currencies tied in with something like XE.com?

The reason I ask is I'm now using @Adriano Faria's excellent classified app, and I use three currencies. UKP, EUR and USD. My members tend to put in their own local currency, but if potential buyers display in another currency, no price shows.

I think this would be pretty awesome if it's do-able.

That would be a nice thing to have in core (Commerce).

I would use bitcoin as an alternative currency. It´s getting really global and popular. You could even monetize your forum by providing referrals links so them can open an account
